Final Clutch Adjustment
IMPORTANT:
Service the engine with oil
and gasoline
before checking this adjustment. Refer to the separate
engine manual packed with your tiller for proper fuel
and engine oil recommendations.
Position the tiller so the front counterweight is against a
solid object, such as a wall. With the gear selection
lever in NEUTRAL, start the engine. Refer to the
separate engine manual.
Standing on the right side of the tiller, examine the belt
(inside the belt cover). It should not be turning.
WARNING:
Do not put fingers under the
belt cover.
If the belt turns without bail engaged,
adjust by
unthreading the internally threaded tube at the end of
the cable a few turns clockwise (when standing in
operator’s position) and then retighten the nut against
the tube.
Now move the shift lever to FORWARD position.
Carefully engage the clutch by lifting the clutch control
bail against the handle. The wheels should spin.
If the wheels do not spin with the unit in forward,
adjust by unthreading the tube at the end of the cable a
few turns counter-clockwise (when standing in
operator’s position) and then retighten the nut against
the tube.
Recheck both adjustments, and readjust as necessary.
