The cables are adjusted at the factory and no adjustment should be neces- sary. If the cables have become stretched or are sagging adjustment will be necessary.

Whenever belts are adjusted or re- placed, the cables will need to be ad- justed.

To check for correct adjustment, un-

hook "Z" fitting at clutch lever (see

Figure 32).

1.Move clutch lever to the full forward position (just contacting plastic

bumper). Holding cable tight, note
