4.
Install the spring cover over the cable adjuster.
5.
Hook the spring end into the hole in the center of
the control bar bracket.
6.
Check the adjustment.
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, increase
the belt tension by inserting the spring end into the
other hole in the control bar bracket. The belt may slip
in wet conditions; to dry out the drive system, start
the rotor and operate it without a load for 30 seconds.
Adjust the gap between the control bar bracket and
the handle to 1/8 to 1/4 in. (3 to 6 mm).
Adjusting the Traction
Drive Cable
Check the traction drive cable for proper adjustment
initially, after the first operating hour, and then
annually thereafter.
Checking the Traction Drive Cable
1.
Squeeze the control
bar against the right side
of the handle.

2.
Ensure that the
distance (A) between
the pivot plate (B) and
the wheel frame (C) is 0
to 1/8 in. (0 to 3 mm).

Important: If the pivot plate touches the wheel frame
before the control bar touches the handle, the cable is
too tight.
Adjusting the Traction Drive Cable
Unhook the Z-fitting (A) from the pivot cable adjuster
(B), and insert it into a different hole to obtain the
proper gap (C) between the pivot plate (D) and the
wheel frame (E).

Note: Moving the Z-fitting to a hole closer to the
ground decreases the gap between the pivot plate
and the wheel frame; moving it to a hole farther from
the ground increases the gap.
Note: The traction speed is fastest when the rotor
blades are new. If you want to reduce the traction
speed, move the Z-fitting one hole farther from the
ground. The gap between the pivot plate and the
wheel frame will be about 1/4 in. (6 mm).
Inspecting the Rotor
Blades
Before each season, inspect the rotor blades for
wear. When a rotor blade edge has worn down to the
wear indicator hole (A), have an Authorized Service
Dealer replace all 3 rotor blades and the scraper.
