Final Clutch Adjustment
IMPORTANT: Service the engine with oil and gasoline before checking this adjustment. Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your tiller for proper fuel and engine oil recommendations.
Position the tiller so the front counterweight is against a solid object, such as a wall. With the gear selection lever in NEUTRAL, start the engine. Refer to the separate engine manual.
Standing on the right side of the tiller, examine the belt (inside the belt cover). It should not be turning.
WARNING: Do not put your fingers under the belt cover.
If the belt turns without bail engaged, adjust by unthreading the internally threaded tube at the end of the cable a few turns clockwise (when standing in operator’s position) and then retighten the nut against the tube.
Now move the shift lever to FORWARD position.
Carefully engage the clutch by lifting the clutch control bail against the handle. The wheels should spin.
If the wheels do not spin with the unit in forward, adjust by unthreading the tube at the end of the cable a few turns
Recheck both adjustments, and readjust as necessary.
