1.After 5 hours of use, check for proper adjustment. Readjust clutch cable if necessary by increasing ten- sion on cable. A small amount of bellcrank arm movement is permissible if unit passes operating checks described in the Caution at left. Optimal adjustment provides 3/16" clearance between traction drive disc and rubber ring on friction disc when drive lever is released (see Figure 13 for fric- tion disk location).
