NOTE: Do not overtighten control wire. Too much tension may cause it to break.
Final Clutch Adjustment
•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.
NOTE: Keep hands out of belt area while unit is operating.
•Standing on the right side of the tiller, visually examine the belt (inside the belt cover). It should not be turning.
If the belt turns with the unit in neutral, adjust by moving the hex nut below the cable bracket down a
few turns. Tighten the upper hex nut against the bracket. See Figure 8.
•Now move the shift lever to FORWARD (Wheels Forward) position. Carefully engage the clutch by squeezing the clutch handle against the handle.
The wheels should spin.
•If the wheels do not spin with the unit in forward, adjust by moving the hex nut which is
above the cable bracket up a few turns. Tighten the bottom hex nut against the bracket.
Recheck both adjustments and readjust as necessary. Make certain hex nuts at cable bracket are tight (do not overtighten control cable).
NOTE: If additional adjustment is required, it may be necessary to remove the belt cover and move the hex nuts at the other end of the clutch cable to increase belt tension.
