7. Electric clutch burnishing procedure: After installing a new clutch, it is important to burnish the clutch to insure maximum deck clutch life. In an open area with no bystanders, set the engine speed to half throttle. Cycle the deck clutch on for 15 seconds, and then off for 15 seconds. Repeat this operation 10 times - it will require about 5 minutes to complete.

Mower blade removal Use a 15/16" wrench to remove the 5/8" cap screw holding the blade to the spindle shaft from underneath. Sharpen the blades on a grinder following pattern as shown (Fig. 1115). Touch-up sharpening can be done with a file. Check the blades for balance following grinding. A commercial balancing tool is available through most hardware supply stores, or balancing can be done by placing the blade on an inverted line punch or 5/8" bolt. Blade should not lean or tilt.
ADJUSTMENTS Introduction Your Mini Z was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during predelivery setup. However, after start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in wear will cause some adjustments to change. Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service.
Upper control lever Spring housing Front ball stud Cap screw Steering dampener with spring Lower control lever Figure 11-21 Control lever stops The control lever stops (Fig. 11-20) are designed to do two things: First, and most important, they must keep the pumps from bottoming out internally. Secondly, the stops may be adjusted to help drive straight when the control levers are pushed forward against the stops. To keep the pumps from bottoming out internally use the following procedure: 1.
NOTE: The front brake link is not adjustable. Fig. 11-23 2. Raise and block the tractor up so the drive wheels are off of the floor. 3. Open the hydraulic pump’s bypass valve (Fig. 11-24), on the side that is being adjusted, by turning bypass valve counter clockwise one-half to one revolution. The valve stems on each hydraulic pump are located near the top and are identified as a hex stud. 4. Rotate the tire. The tire should rotate.

As belt stretches and wears in, adjustment may become necessary. To increase belt tension, move the spring chain one (or more) link(s) at the anchor bracket (Fig. 11-30). Installed spring length should be 7.
18. Tighten the hardware holding the chain and adjuster onto the deck lift arm. 19. Go to the right rear of the tractor. 20. Make sure that there is still slack in the chain. If not, loosen the two nuts on the block holding the threaded rod until there is slack in the deck lift chain. Fig. 11-35 21. Tighten the appropriate nut until the chain just becomes tight, making sure that the deck stays tight against the 3" block. 22.
