SELF PROPELLED DRIVE ADJUSTMENT

Tools required: two 1/2 wrenches.

As the clutch wears, adjustments may be required to maintain proper control cable tension, and clutch engagement (fig. 11). If the clutch begins slipping or squealing during normal operation it may require an adjustment to increase the clutch cable tension. A properly adjusted drive clutch should require a minimum of 3/8" of spring stretch when drive lever is engaged (fig. 12). Adjust by tightening or by loosening clutch cable adjusting nut as required, located at the clutch lever (fig. 12). If further adjustment is required, primary adjuster is located at the underneath the engine base (fig. 13). Replacement of cable may be necessary if adjustment will not allow for proper drive clutch engagement.

WARNING: If the drive clutch begins to squeal or slip, do not continue to operate your unit until adequate adjustment or repair has been performed. Improper adjustment can cause drive clutch to slip and overheat, greatly reducing machine performance and transmission life.
