Check Attachment Brake
See Figure 38.
1. With the clutch lever disengaged, brake pad must
contact attachment belts. With clutch lever
engaged, brake pad must be more than 1/16 in.
(1.6 mm) from belts. If there is more than 1/16 in.
(1.6 mm) gap, go to Check Belt Finger Clearance
on page 26. If there is less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm)
gap, go to Step 2.
2. If there is less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap
between brake pad and belts, follow these steps:
a. To increase brake pad gap, loosen idler
adjustment nut, and move idler away from
belt. Position idler to achieve a 1/16 in. (1.6
mm) minimum brake pad gap and a 1/2 in.
(12.7 mm) minimum gap between the plastic
roller and the frame.
b. Check the clutch cable spring extension and
adjust as necessary to achieve a 7/16 – 9/16
in. (11.1 – 14.3 mm) spring extension.
c. If the cable needed adjustment, recheck gaps
described in step 2a. Repeat steps as
necessary until brake clearance, roller gap
and spring extension are within specified
ranges.
IMPORTANT: If adjustments cannot be brought into
specified ranges see your Dealer for repairs.
Check Belt Finger Clearance
1. With clutch lever engaged, the belt finger located
opposite the belt idler must be less than 1/8 in. (3
mm) from belts, but not touching the belts.
To adjust belt finger, loosen the bolts and move
the finger to the proper position. Tighten the bolts
and recheck the belt finger clearance.
2. Replace the belt cover.
TRACTION DRIVE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
If drive slips, adjust traction clutch to compensate for
friction disc wear.
To adjust traction clutch:
1. Place speed selector in first forward speed.
2. With the engine OFF, push unit forward while
slowly moving the traction drive clutch lever
toward the handlebar.
3. Measure the distance between the lever and
handlebar when the wheels begin to brake. The
distance should be: 7-1/2 – 8 in. (190.5 – 203.2
mm) (921001), 7 – 7-1/2 in. (177.8 – 190.5 mm)
(921002, 003, 004). See Figure 40. If distance is
out of range, adjust the traction clutch.
4. To adjust traction clutch (Figure 41):
a. With the traction drive clutch lever
disengaged, loosen the jam nut on the cable
adjuster.
