STEP 3.

 (See Figure 2)

 Select a handlebar mounting 

height  to  match  the  operator. The  handlebar  was 

set at the factory in the middle position. The highest 

position is for tall operators, the lowest for shorter 

operators. Loosen and remove the carriage bolts, 

raise  or  lower  the  handlebar  to  the  next  set  of 

matching  holes  on  the  mounting  plate.  Replace 

hardware and securely tighten.

STEP  4. 

(See  Figure  3) 

The  clutch  control  cable  is 

attached  to  the  clutch  control  handle  and  factory 

adjusted for the middle handlebar mounting position. 

If you have changed the handlebar height to either 

the high or low position, the clutch cable must also 

be repositioned and the cable readjusted.
Reposition the cable to the proper hole in the clutch 

handle (shown in Figure 3) that corresponds with 

the new height setting of the handlebar. Reattach 

using the clevis pin and cotter pin (left hand side of 

the clutch handle only). 

NOTE: The other holes in 

the clutch handle are used for readjustment of the 

clutch after extended use. Refer to the Maintenance 

section in this manual (page 15).

Readjust the cable. Loosen the locking nut on the 

clutch cable adjuster and lengthen or shorten the 

cable  by  turning  the  adjuster.  Set  the  adjuster  so 

that the spring on the cable stretches a 1/2” to 3/4” 

(13  mm  to  19  mm)  from  its  original  length  when 

the  clutch  handle  is  engaged.  When  the  clutch 

handle is released, the machine should not “creep” 

forward.  Reset  the  locking  nut. 

NOTE:  Additional 

clutch adjustment information can be found in the 

Maintenance section in this manual (page 15).

STEP 5. 

Recheck of the positions of the control cables. 

Check that they are not trapped or tangled around 

the  handlebar. 

DO  NOT  START  THE  ENGINE. 

Ensure  that  the  clutch  handle  and  throttle  control 

operate smoothly without binding or rubbing on any 

TurnAer-26 components.
