Attachment CLUTCH/BRAKE Adjustment

WARNING: IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT could result in unexpected movement of auger and impeller causing death or serious injury. AUGER / IMPELLER MUST STOP within 3 seconds when Attachment Clutch/Impeller Brake Bail is released.

WARNING: Adjustment procedure requires the engine to be run with the belt cover off. AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding.

1.Remove belt cover.

2.Check belt alignment (Figure 17).

Engine sheave and attachment pulley must align vertically. Also, belt must be centered in the idler pulley.

To align, move engine sheave:

a.Loosen set screws.

b.Slide sheave and key to desired position.

c.Tighten set screws.

3.Adjust cable slack.

IMPORTANT: The clutch cable must be slack when clutch bail is disengaged.

a.Center the upper cable adjuster on the mounting bracket, if necessary (Figure 17).

b.With the clutch bail disengaged, loosen the control cable mounting nuts on the attachment clutch arm (Figure 21).

c.Pull up on the cable body to remove cable slack.

d.Finger tighten mounting nuts and then loosen the top nut five turns.

e. Tighten the bottom nut with a wrench.

4.Check attachment clutch bail measurement.

a.Start engine and run at full throttle.

b.Slowly squeeze the attachment clutch bail until auger shaft begins to rotate.

c.Measure the distance from the end of the clutch bail to the handlebar as shown in Figure 20. The distance between the clutch bail and the handlebar should be 3-1/2 ± 1/8 in. (8.9 cm ± 3 mm).

d.Shut off engine.

5.Adjust attachment clutch bail measurement, if necessary.

a.Loosen idler nut (Figure 17).

b.To increase distance between clutch bail and handlebar, move the idler towards the attachment belt.

c.To decrease the distance between the clutch bail and handlebar, move the idler away from the attachment belt.

d.Tighten idler adjustment nut.

e.Check clutch bail measurement.

6.Check Brake

When the clutch bail is disengaged, the brake must contact the attachment belt.

When the clutch bail is engaged, the brake must be more than 1/16 in.

(1.6 mm) away from the belt (Figure 19).

7.Repeat steps 3–6 until attachment clutch bail distance and brake contact are correct.

IMPORTANT: If attachment clutch/brake cannot be adjusted within tolerances, see your Dealer for repairs.

8.Check belt finger clearance.

With clutch bail engaged, belt fingers should be 1/16–1/8 in. (1.6 - 3.0 mm) from belt. Adjust belt fingers as necessary.

9.Replace belt cover.

10.Check that auger/impeller stops within 3 seconds after attachment clutch/ impeller brake bail is released.
