〈Adjusting the main clutch〉
1. Turn the installation knob on the front cover in the coun-
terclockwise direction to loosen it, and open the cover by
lifting it upwards with your hands.
2. Use a spanner to loosen the two clutch wire locknuts by
turning them in opposite directions.
3. Make adjustments so that the spring on the back of the
handle stretches 4 to 5mm when you move the clutch lever
to the "Run" position.
4. After adjustments are complete, tighten the two locknuts
by turning them in the directions opposite to step 2 to fix
the length of the wires.
5. Close the front cover, and turn the installation knob on
the front cover in the clockwise direction until it stops to
fix the front cover.
!
After making these adjustments, follow the procedure under
"Checking the operation of the main clutch" on page 17 to
check the operation of the main clutch.
!
With the main clutch in the "Stop" position and the shift
knob in the "H" or "L" position, pull the recoil starter. If the
mower does not move, the main clutch is not engaged.
6. The clutch wire can also be adjusted at the clutch wire in-
stallation fitting position on the back of the handle. If ad-
justments in inside the front cover are insufficient, try mak-
ing similar adjustments in this location.
Warning
!
Be sure to stop the engine, and disengage the
main clutch and blade clutch before adjusting
the clutch.
!
Immediately after stopping the engine, wait for
the engine to cool before making adjustments.
