Check Attachment Idler Arm Roller Clearance
(Figure 13)
NOTE: It will be difficult to check the measurement inside the frame. Use a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) minimum spacer as a gauge to check the clearance between the roller and the frame.
1.Remove bottom cover.
2.With the attachment clutch lever engaged, check the clearance between the frame and plastic roller on the lower end of the attachment idler arm (Figure 13).
•If roller is 1/2 – 7/8 in. (12.7 – 22.2 mm) from frame, no further
adjustment is required.
•If roller is less than 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) from frame, loosen idler adjustment nut and move idler closer to the belt. Tighten adjustment nut and recheck the roller clearance.
•If roller is more than 7/8 in. (22.2 mm) from frame, loosen idler adjustment nut and move idler away from the belt. Tighten adjustment nut and recheck roller clearance.
