2. Remove the hairpin cotter (L, Fig. 2-3)
and wheel drive pin (M) from the wheel
hub (O) and wheel shaft (N).
3. Slide the wheel fully inward on the
wheel shaft (N, Fig. 2-3). Reinstall the
wheel drive pin (M) through the wheel
shaft only (not through the wheel hub).
Secure the wheel drive pin with the hairpin
cotter (L), pushing the hairpin cotter in as
far as it will go. The wheel should now
spin freely (freewheel) on the wheel shaft.
Repeat with the other wheel.
4. Use the handlebar to roll the tiller to a
flat area.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the engine,
the wheels must be placed in the WHEEL
DRIVE position (pins through wheel hubs
and wheel shaft). This procedure is
described in Wheel Drive Pins in Section 3.
STEP 4: INSTALL FORWARD
CLUTCH CABLE
1. Attach the forward clutch cable bracket
(P, Fig. 2-4) to the handlebar support (A)
with a 1/4"-20 x 1-1/4" hex hd. screw (R)
and 1/4"-20 hex locknut (S). Tighten
securely.
2. Carefully unwrap the forward clutch
cable (cable without an attached knob)
from its shipping position and slide the
thin cable wire (T, Fig. 2-4) into the slot in
the cable bracket. Push the cable con-
nector (U, Fig. 2-4) up through the hole in
the bracket until the groove in the con-
nector snaps into place.
3. Insert the #10-24 x 2" slotted hd. screw
(V, Fig. 2-5) down through the hooked
end of the cable spring (W) until the screw
threads extend through the spring.
