Checking The Clutch Adjustment
Service the engine with oil and gasoline
IMPORTANT:
before checking this adjustment. Refer to the separate
engine manual packed with your tiller for proper fuel
and engine oil recommendations.
Position the tiller so the front bumper is against a solid
object, such as a wall. With the gear selection lever in
NEUTRAL, start the engine. Refer to the separate
engine manual.
Standing on the right side of the tiller, examine the belt
(inside the belt cover). It should not be turning.
NOTE:
Do not put fingers under the belt cover.
If the belt turns without bail engaged, adjust by
unthreading the internally threaded tube at the end of
the cable a few turns clockwise (when standing in
operator's position), and then retighten the nut against
the tube.
