BLADE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

BC2403 Series Brush Cutter Owner’s Manual

BLADE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

READ all safety instructions before servicing unit.

DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.

1.Disconnect spark plug wire.

2.As the clutch/brake wears or begins slipping or squealing, adjustment may be required to maintain proper cable tension and clutch engagement. A properly adjusted blade clutch should require 10 lbs of force to depress the end of the clutch lever. The blade clutch cable spring should stretch 1/4” to 3/8” (6.4-9.5 mm).

3.Adjust cable tension by tightening or loosening cable adjustment nut on rear of engine base (see below). Be sure to leave enough slack in cable to allow blade brake to engage.

Blade Cable Adjustment

If clutch continues to slip or squeal, do not operate equipment until adequate adjustment or repair has been performed. Improper adjustment can cause clutch to overheat and slip, greatly reducing performance and clutch life.

4. Reconnect spark plug wire.
