WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

(911175, 179)

See Figure 19.

NOTICE: The unit should stop immediately when the wheel drive control is released, and the unit should not creep forward when the wheel drive control is disengaged with the engine running. The unit’s forward speed should increase as the wheel drive control gets closer to the handlebar.

If the unit creeps, decrease traction and speed. If the unit does not accelerate smoothly or seems to slip under load, increase the traction and speed.

NOTICE: Before adjusting the wheel drive cable, first make sure the area around the drive components is free of dirt or debris that could prevent the transmission from engaging or disengaging properly, and then make sure the return spring is connected properly to the transmission bracket.

Adjust the wheel drive by adjusting the cable on the handlebar.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT adjust the cable so the transmission does not return to neutral and stop the unit when the wheel drive control is released.

Check The Adjustment

1.Start the engine and slowly squeeze the wheel drive control against the handlebar and then release the wheel drive control.

2.The unit should move forward as you squeeze the wheel drive control and then stop immediately and not creep forward when you release it.

To Adjust:

1.Loosen cable nuts away from bracket.

2.Move the wheel drive cable adjuster up or down the handlebar. See Figure 19. To increase traction and speed, move the cable adjuster down the handlebar.

To decrease traction and speed, move the cable adjuster up the handlebar.

3.Check the adjustment and alter as needed.
