ASSEMBLY
CLUTCH CABLE INSTALLATION
Tractors with manual clutch mechanism:
Disengage the clutch:
If your cable (item 1) does not have a spring at the end,
attach the cable to the spring (item 3) on the tiller and
attach the cable on the adjustable tension rod (item 2).
Secure in place.
Note
: The tension rod (item 2) can be adjusted or
inverted (as shown) to accommodate the length of the
cable.
Note:
If you have a cable with a spring at the end, go to
the next step.
If your clutch cable has a spring at the end, you must
remove the original spring from the tiller.
Attach the cable’s spring (item 1) to the extension bar
(item 2). Attach the cable shield on the tension rod (item
3) and secure in place with a hair pin.
Note
: The tension rod can be adjusted and rotated to
accommodate the length of the cable.
Install the spring (item 2) that releases the tension on
the belt, the short hook in the idler arm (item 3) and the
long hook on the rod (item 4).
Adjust the cable when the clutch is engaged. The spring
(item 5) should be stretched to approx. 3/4" to 1"
Install the stopper (item 1) with a 5/16 x 3/4" bolt, flat
washer on the slot and flange nut. Adjust the stopper in
order to be sure the belt does not fall off the engine
pulley when the P.T.O. is disengaged. However, the belt
must be loose enough to allow tiller to stop turning
immediately when P.T.O. is disengaged.
OPTION
If your tractor does not have a clutch cable or the cable
is too short, a "clutch mechanism kit" under model
number #700319 is available as an option.
