8. TO ADJUST THE LITE-TOUCH (MANUALLY)

a.rThree holes in the belt guard allow you to
reposition the hex cap screw to adjust the brake
lever. The top hole (lite tension), the middle hole
(medium tension) and the lower hole (hard
tension). The unit is shipped with the hex screw in
the top hole. SEE THE FIGURE BELOW FOR
REFERENCE. To adjust the bolt do the following:

b.With a spring puller, pull the spring and detach it
from the hex cap screw.

c.Remove the lock nut from the lite touch hole in
the belt guard.

d.Loosen (but do not remove) the remaining two
nuts on the belt guard.

e.Pull the belt guard away from the unit. This will
give clearance to remove the bolt. Note: If you are
having difficulty removing the bolt, continue to
loosen the two nuts on the belt guard (BUT DO
NOT REMOVE). Remove the bolt and nut.

f.Reposition the bolt and nut into the middle or
lower hole and retighten all three nuts.

g.Using a spring puller, reattach the spring to the
hex cap screw.
