2.Adjust cable length (See Figure 32).

a.Loosen jam nut on cable.

b.To increase spring extension, adjust barrel down the cable and tighten jam nut.

c.To decrease spring extension, adjust barrel up the cable and tighten jam nut.

Check Attachment Brake

Figure 33

1.With the clutch lever disengaged, brake pad must contact attachment belt. With clutch lever engaged, brake pad must be more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from belt. If there is more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap, go to Traction Drive Clutch Adjustment on page 27. If there is less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap, go to Step 2.

2.If there is less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap between brake pad and belt, follow these steps:

a.To increase brake pad gap, loosen idler adjustment nut, and move idler away from belt. Position idler to achieve a 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) minimum brake pad gap and a 1/2 – 7/8 in. (12.7 –

22.2 mm) gap between the plastic roller and the frame.

b.Check the clutch cable spring extension and adjust as necessary to achieve a

1/2 – 9/16 in. (12.7 – 14.3 mm) spring extension.

c.If the cable needed adjustment, recheck gaps described in step 1. Repeat steps as necessary until brake clearance, roller gap and spring extension are within specified ranges.

IMPORTANT: If adjustments cannot be brought into specified ranges see your Dealer for repairs.

TRACTION DRIVE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

If drive slips, adjust traction clutch to compensate for friction disc wear.

To test traction clutch (Figure 34):

1.Put unit in first forward speed.

2.With power switch off, push unit forward while slowly moving the traction drive clutch lever toward the handlebar.

3.Measure distance between lever and handlebar when the wheels begin to brake. If distance is not 7-1/2 – 8 in. (19.0 – 20.3 cm), adjust the traction clutch.

To adjust traction clutch (Figure 35):

1.With the traction drive clutch lever disengaged, loosen the jam nut on the cable adjuster.

Turn adjustment barrel up the cable to decrease the distance between clutch lever and handlebar.

Turn the adjustment barrel down the cable to increase the distance between clutch lever and handlebar.

2.Check traction clutch lever distance and repeat adjustment steps if necessary.

3.Tighten jam nut on traction cable adjustment barrel.

4.With the clutch disengaged, check that there is more than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) clearance between friction disc and drive plate assembly. See Figure 36 on page 28.
