Check Attachment Brake

See Figure 38.

1.With the clutch lever disengaged, brake pad must contact attachment belts. With clutch lever engaged, brake pad must be more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from belts. If there is more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap, go to Check Belt Finger Clearance on page 30. 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 belts, 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 in. (12.7 mm) minimum 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 2a. 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.

Check Belt Finger Clearance

1.With clutch lever engaged, the belt finger located opposite the belt idler must be less than 1/8 in. (3 mm) from belts, but not touching the belts.

To adjust belt finger, loosen the bolts and move the finger to the proper position. Tighten the bolts and recheck the belt finger clearance.

Check belt finger clearance here. With the attachment clutch engaged, there should be less than 1/8 in. (3 mm) clearance between the belts and the belt finger. The belt finger should not touch the belts.

TRACTION DRIVE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

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

To adjust traction clutch:

1.Place speed selector in first forward speed.

2.With the engine OFF, push unit forward while slowly moving the traction drive clutch lever toward the handlebar.

3.Measure the distance between the lever and handlebar when the wheels begin to brake. The distance should be 7 – 7-1/2 in. (177.8 – 190.5 mm). See Figure 40. If distance is out of range, adjust the traction clutch.

7 – 7-1/2 in.

(177.8 – 190.5 mm)
