6)in an open (released) position, measure the length of the cable spring (W) from the outermost coil to the outermost coil.

b. Squeeze the Forward Clutch Bail against the handlebar (see Fig. 2-7) and re-mea- sure the spring length. The belt tension is correct if this second measurement is be- tween 1/16" to 3/16" longer than the first measurement. If so, turn the hex nut (Z, Fig. 2-7) tightly against the cable adjuster

STEP 5: INSTALL REVERSE CLUTCH CABLE (SUPER BRONCO & PRO-LINE)

1.Unwrap the reverse clutch cable (CC, Fig. 2-8 and Fig. 2-9) from its shipping po- sition and route it up to the handlebar. Be sure that the cable is routed beneath the Forward Clutch Bail.

2.Insert the cable (CC, Fig. 2-8) through the slot in the cable bracket and position the flat side of the threaded assembly next to the flat side of the hole. Slide the hex nut (DD) up the cable and tighten it securely.

3.Fasten the reverse clutch cable to the left side handlebar with a cable tie (EE, Fig. 2-9).

4.Test the function of the reverse clutch by pulling out and releasing the cable knob. The knob should return to its neutral posi- tion (resting against bracket). If it doesn’t, contact your local dealer or Troy-Bilt LLC for technical assistance.
