BRAKE BRACKET ASSEMBLY
Late production brake brackets are serviceable only by installing a complete brake bracket assembly.
On serviceable brake brackets, continue by removing the alignment tool. Release the spring tension by unhooking
the short end of the spring from bracket with a pliers. Remove the “E” clip from the brake pad shaft. Slide the pad
lever from the shaft and unhook the link. Inspect the brake pad for dirt, oil or grease contamination. If the pad is
contaminated, or if there is less than .060" (1.524 mm) thickness of brake pad material at the pad's thinnest point,
replacement is necessary. The brake pad is bonded to the brake lever and must be replaced as an assembly.
Rehook the link, install the brake lever and pad assembly, install the "E" clip, rehook the short end of the spring
and continue to reassemble the brake system in the reverse order of disassembly.

ACTION
IGNITION GROUNDOUT TERMINAL
Inspect the terminal grounding wire for proper alignment
and contact with the brake arm. Insure that all electrical
connections are clean and secure (diag. 5).
STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCH
The engine/blade control must close the interlock switch
before the starter can be engaged. To check the
interlock switch, use an ohmmeter or continuity light
to perform a continuity check. Disconnect the wires off
the switch before performing a continuity check.
Continuity should exist between the two terminals when
the interlock switch button is completely depressed.
No continuity should exist when the button is released.
If the switch fails replace the switch (diag. 6).
To replace the interlock switch, carefully grind the heads
off of the rivets that fasten the interlock switch to the
brake bracket. Remove the rivets from the back side of
brake bracket. Use the self-tapping screws supplied
with the new switch to make threads in the bracket.
Install the interlock switch onto the brake bracket in
the proper position and secure the switch to the brake
bracket with the machine screws supplied. Be careful
not to overtighten the screws as switch breakage can
occur (diag. 6).
CONTROL CABLE
If replacing the cable conduit screw with a screw other
than a service part replacement, be certain that the
screw length is not too long as to prevent free travel of
the lever.
Make sure the button on the starter interlock switch is
completely depressed when the control is fully applied.
The cable must provide enough travel so the brake will
contact the flywheel. Some slack should exist in the
cable adjustment to compensate for brake pad wear
(diag. 7).
BRAKE BRACKET REPLACEMENT
When installing a inside edge brake bracket assembly,
be sure the slotted holes in the brake bracket are all
the way down on the fasteners. This will properly align
the brake bracket to the flywheel brake surface (diag.
8).
When completed, check for less than 3 second stop
time.
