B2) FORWARD CONTROL CABLE
Make sure that there is no play between the upper end of the cable and the adjustment screw. If there is, or if the cable has stretched, restore to ideal position using the relative adjustment screw ( Fig. 5, ref. A).
If adjustment using the relative screw proves ineffective, the belts, and hence the engine mounting, must be adjusted. To perform this operation refer to section 14 C “ BELT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT” of this manual.
Figure 5
C) BELT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before carrying out any maintenance or repair work on the machine.
If a belt is worn or breaks it should be replaced as follows:
-remove the metal guard ( fig. 6 ref. A), by unscrewing and taking out the screws shown in figure 6 ref. B and C.
C1)BLADE BELT
Disconnect the connecting rod (Fig. 7 Ref. B) by removing the nut and loosening the screw that secure it to the arm (Fig. 7 Ref. C)
-Once the connecting rod has been disconnected the belt can be slipped off (Fig. 7 Ref. A) by manually turning the relative lower pulley anticlockwise (Fig. 7 Ref. D).
-To fit the new belt follow the procedure in the reverse order.
-Afterwards check that the belt is correctly positioned by using the relative blade control lever. When this lever is lowered and the belt is at maximum tension, the distance between the belt and the relative belt guides (Fig. 7 Ref. E) should be approximately 2 mm.
-Then make sure that the belt works properly by tugging lightly on the
If the belt engages push the engine back slightly towards the rear of the machine (in the direction of the handlebars) until the belt is in the correct position.
