C. BBC Burnish Instructions
Warner Electric strongly suggests burnishing the BBC
whenever either the clutch assembly or the brake
assembly is replaced or if the complete assembly is
replaced. The mower should be fully functional before
this burnish procedure is initiated. The burnish
procedure consists of the following steps:
1. Start the lawn mower engine.
2. Run the mower engine at the maximum engine
speed. Allow the mower engine to run a sufficient
amount of time so that the engine will not stall upon
engagement of the blade.
3. With the engine running at maximum engine speed,
engage and disengage the BBC a minimum of 15
times.
