Stopping the Engine
If the ignition switch on your machine (Figure 15) is a toggle
switch (with both an "I" and a "Stop"), push the switch to the
Stop position. Otherwise, hold down the switch in the Stop
position until the engine stops.

Figure 17
3. Hold the blade control bar against the handle
(Figure 18).
Disengaging the Blade
Release the blade control bar (Figure 19).
Important: When you release the blade control bar,
the blade should stop within 3 seconds. If it does not
stop properly, stop using your machine immediately and
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Checking the Blade-brake
Clutch Operation
Check the control bar before each use to ensure that the
blade-brake clutch system is operating properly.
Using the Grass Bag
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
You can use the grass bag to perform an additional test to
check the blade-brake clutch.
1. Install the empty grass bag on the machine.
2. Start the engine.
3. Engage the blade.
Note: The bag should begin to inflate, indicating that
the blade is engaged and rotating.
4. Release the blade control bar.
Note: If the bag does not immediately deflate, the
blade is still rotating. The blade-brake clutch may be
deteriorating and, if ignored, could result in an unsafe
operating condition. Have the machine inspected and
serviced by an Authorized Service Dealer.
