HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE CABLES
The cables are adjusted at the factory and no adjustment
should be necessary. If the cables have become stretched
or are sagging adjustment will be necessary.
Whenever belts are adjusted or replaced, the cables will
need to be adjusted.
To check for correct adjustment, unhook “Z” fitting at
clutch lever

1. Move clutch lever to the full forward position (just con-
tacting plastic bumper). Holding cable tight, note posi-
tion of fitting to hole in clutch lever.
2. The center of the “Z” fitting should be between the centre
and top of the hole in the clutch lever. Adjust either the
auger drive cable or the traction drive cable as follows.
