6. Install drive belt guard.
7. Install side panel.
NOTE: This setting is correct as a pre-
liminary adjustment for most models.
In some cases, when starting the en-
gine, the vehicle could creep, indicat-
ing that the drive belt is too tight.
If the vehicle creeps, lower the drive
belt height from the preliminary set-
ting. Repeat procedure until creeping
stops.
Reverse Activation
NOTE: The reverse may not activate
or may be harder to activate if the drive
belt is positioned too high in the driven
pulley. If reverse activation does not
work properly, ensure the drive belt is
properly adjusted. Adjust the drive belt
lower in the driven pulley if needed.
