SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

FINAL CHECK “ON” POSITION

With tine control “ON” (held down to handle) push down on handle to raise tines off the ground.

Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines. Tines should rotate forward.

If tines do not rotate, inner wire of control cable is too loose. Loosen cable clip and pull cable up to remove slack and retighten clip.

Recheck in “ON” position and adjust if necessary. NOTE: If “ON” position check required adjustment, recheck “OFF” position adjustment to insure tines do not rotate when control is “OFF” (up).
