ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT TENSION
1. Loosen the drive belt jam and hex nuts. Turn the jam nut counterclockwise (as viewed from the
top) to tighten the belt.
See Figure 3-2.
2. GAS OPTION ONLY: After tensioning the drive belt, check the throttle linkage and adjust if nec-
essary.
NOTE: With the clutch handle engaged, the throttle linkage should move the throttle lever to full
speed. To adjust, loosen the throttle linkage adjustment screw and slide the throttle linkage down.
Retighten the screw.
Periodically check the drive belt for wear. Replace any damaged or worn belts as needed.
ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT SUPPORT
The drive belt support is designed to extend belt life. The bracket should be adjusted to NOT
touch the drive belt when the clutch handle is engaged (down position), AND to hold the drive
belt away from the engine pulley when the clutch handle is disengaged (up position).
