TO ASSEMBLE THE BELT OPERATING CLUTCH ROD
NOTE: The positions of the screwed adjusters on the clutch rods are only to make the levers operate
correctly and once they are assembled, they should NOT be altered. These adjustments are NOT used
to alter the belt or traction clutch tensions.
Remove top Guard. The screwed adjuster (1) has
been
positioned and set on the road at the correct
position and
must enter the hole in the lug from the outer side of
the lug.
(Nearest side to the side frame of the mower) See
Fig.4
FIG.4
Enter the adjuster into the lug and screw on the “nyloc” lock nut to retain the adjuster. Tighten the
nut and then unscrew it about ¼ of a turn to make sure that the adjuster is free to pivot into the hole
in the lug. The clutch lever should now snap back and hold into position when the belt clutch is
engaged by moving the clutch lever back towards the handle bar.
TO ASSEMBLE THE TRACTION CLUTCH ROD
The screwed adjuster has been positioned and set on the (1) rod at the correct position and it must enter the
hole in the ramp arm from the outer side of the lug.
(Nearest side to the side frame of the mower) See Fig. 5
Enter the adjuster into the hole and screw on the “nyloc”
nut to retain the adjuster (The lever can be relaxed while
doing this). Tighten the nut and then unscrew it about ¼
turn to make sure that the adjuster is free to pivot in the
hole in the arm. The clutch lever should now snap back
and hold into position when the traction clutch is engaged
by moving the clutch lever back towards the handle bar.
Fig.5
NOTE: If either the belt operating clutch rod or the traction clutch rod does not snap back firmly one
additional turn of the adjuster up the clutch rod may be necessary.
