To disengage the clutch, rotate the lever clockwise against the lever stop.The engine base is slotted to adjust for belt wear and to bring the idler pulley into operating range.

CAUTION: Stop the engine before allowing anybody to put their hands in the mixing drum.

WHEEL BEARINGS

After every 3 months of operation, remove the hub dust cap and inspect the wheel bearings. Once a year, or when required, disassemble the wheel hubs remove the old grease and repack the bearings forcing grease between rollers, cone and cage with a good grade of high speed wheel bearing grease (never use grease heavier than 265 A.S.T.M. penetration (“No. 2.”) Fill the wheel hub with grease to the inside diameter of the outer races and also fill the hub grease cap. Reassemble the hub and mount the wheel. Then tighten the adjusting nut, at the same time turn the wheel in both directions, until there is a slight bind to be sure all the bearing surfaces are in contact. Then back-off the adjusting nut !/6 to ¼ turn or to the nearest locking hole or sufficiently to allow the wheel to rotate freely within limits of .001" to .010" end play.Lock the nut at this position. Install the cotter pin and dust cap, and tighten all hardware.
