NOTE: It will be difficult to check the measurement inside the frame. Use a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) minimum spacer as a gauge to check the clearance between the roller and the frame.

1.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 32.

•If roller is 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) or more from frame, go to Adjust the Attachment Clutch Cable Spring Extension on page 25.

•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.
