DIGGING CHAIN VALVE LEVER ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTMENT BOLTS
SEE DETAIL VIEW
DETAIL VIEW
The chain valve control should be adjusted to completely activate the chain valve when the dig chain control
is in ‘ON’ position. To check this adjustment, put the chain on/off control in ON position (with engine
stopped). Pull the clutch lever on left handlebar up until it touches the handgrip. While holding clutch lever
up, push on the chain forward/neutral/reverse lever. It should be at the end of its stroke, thus not move down
any more. If the chain F/N/R lever can be pushed down more, the valve spool lever should be adjusted. To
adjust, remove back cover from the control panel. Loosen the 2 bolts on valve lever and rotate the lever plate
down about 1/16”. Re- tighten the bolts and check the lever stroke. Adjust so the valve lever comes to the
end of its stroke just as the clutch lever touches the handgrip when chain valve control is in ON position.
