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 7/16 – 9/16 in. (11.1 – 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.
