1.Place the unit into the service position (see Service Position on page 18). Remove the bottom cover.

2.With the clutch lever engaged, check the clearance between the frame and plastic roller on the lower end of the attachment idler arm. See Figure 31.

If roller is 1/2 – 7/8 in. (12.7 –

22.2 mm) from frame, go to Adjust the

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.

Roller should be 1/2 – 7/8 in. (12.7 –

22.2mm) from the frame when the attachment clutch is engaged.

If spring extension is within the specified range, go to Check Attachment Brake on page 27.

If spring extension is outside of specified range, go to step 2.
