B11. 2-SPEED TRANSMISSION
The 2-speed transmission included with the Serpent 720 may be adjusted for
shift point and shift smoothness.
TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT - SHIFT POINT
The shift point determines when the transmission shifts into 2nd gear, and
is set by the two shift-point screws on the sides of the 2-speed shoes. It
is VERY important to set both shift-point screws equally for proper shifting
operation.
Adjustment of the shift point is done with the engine stopped, and may be
done without disassembling the transmission.
TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT - SHOE GAP
The shoe gap determines how smoothly the transmission shifts into 2nd gear,
and is set by the two small shoe-gap screws in the center of the 2-speed
shoes.
Adjustment of the shoe gap is done with the engine stopped, and may be
done without disassembling the transmission.
Check and adjust the shoe gap periodically to compensate for wear. Always
adjust the shoe gap to minimum, without the shoes touching the cage.
