Unhook the spring here.
Note:
You can pull up the adjuster link and
cable to make unhooking the spring easier.
2.
Move the Z-fitting to a higher or lower hole on
the adjuster link as needed to obtain the 2 to 3
mm (1/16 to 1/8 inch) gap between the control
bar and the handle (
Note:
Moving the Z-fitting higher decreases the
gap between the control bar and the handle;
moving it lower increases the gap.
3.
Hook the spring to the adjuster link and slide the
spring cover over the adjuster link.
4.
Check the adjustment; refer to
Control Cable (page 16)
.
Note:
After extended use, the drive belt may
wear and lose its proper belt tension. If the drive
belt slips (continuously squeals) under a heavy
load, disconnect the spring from the adjustor link
and move the upper end of the spring to the hole
that is further from the pivot point in the control
bar (
). Then connect the spring to the
adjustor link and adjust the control cable.

rotor and run it without a load for 30 seconds.
Inspecting the Rotor Blades
Service Interval:
Yearly—Inspect the rotor blades
and have an Authorized Service
Dealer replace the rotor blades and
scraper if necessary.
Before each session, inspect the rotor blades for
wear. When a rotor-blade edge has worn down to
the wear-indicator hole, have an Authorized Service
Dealer replace the rotor blades and the scraper
(
).
