SEAT ADJUSTMENT

SEAT-SLIDE EQUIPPED MODELS

For units equipped with a Seat Slide, See Figure 21. Use

the lever under the front of the seat to adjust the seat
forward or rearward for best rider comfort.

STANDARD MODELS

1. See Figure 22. Lift up the seat and loosen the four

capscrews.

2. Slide the seat forward or back and tighten the cap-

screws.

PTO ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 23.

The PTO clutch is properly adjusted when the clutch pul-
ley (C) moves away from clutch cone (D) 1/16” (1.5 mm)
when clutch is disengaged. To adjust, proceed as fol-
lows:

1. Loosen the rear nut (B).

2. Turn the front nut slightly clockwise to increase pulley

travel or counterclockwise to decrease pulley travel.

3. Tighten the rear nut against the front nut and check

the measurement again.

4. Adjust locknut (E) so there is 1/8” (3 mm) between

locknut (E) and pivot arm when clutch is disengaged.

PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 24.

1. Loosen jam nut (E) at parking brake rod end. Rotate

the parking brake handle (B) clockwise until it is tight
and pulled up against fender as shown.

2. Operate the brake handle to see if it is too loose or

too tight. It should be tight against fender when set
but not too tight to operate.

3. When proper adjustment is achieved, tighten jam nut.

NOTE: It will be easier to apply the parking brake when
the clutch/brake pedal is fully engaged.
