BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENTTine

Clutch

Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be re- quired due to normal stretch and wear on the belt. Adjustment is needed if the tines seem to hesitate

while tilling, but the engine maintains the samespeed.

To adjust, loosen the hex nuts at the cable bracket on the handle. See figure 20. With the clutch lever released as shown in figure 14, adjust the bottom nut so that there is only a slight amount of slack in the control wire. Tighten the upper nut against the bracket.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

If any adjustments are made to theengine while the engine is running,(e.g.

carburetor), disengage all clutches and tines. Keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.

Never make unnecessary adjustments. The fac-

tory settings are correct for most applications. If

adjustments are needed, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your tiller.
