The forward locking nut on the
clutch arm turnbuckle is a standard right hand thread. The rear
locking nut is a left hand thread. There are flat spots on the side
of the turnbuckle for a 12 mm wrench.
To decrease freeplay, loosen both locknuts, and turn the
turnbuckle to shorten the clutch rod.
To increase freeplay, loosen both the locknuts, and turn the
turnbuckle to lengthen the clutch rod.
If adjustments fail to bring the freeplay to within l/2 - 5/8 inch
(13.0 - 16.1 mm) the drive belt may need to be replaced.
