Check Attachment Brake
See Figure 31.
1. Place unit in service position and remove
bottom cover.
See Service Position on
page 14.
With the attachment clutch disengaged,
brake pad must contact attachment belt or
pulley, whichever is closest. With attachment
clutch engaged, brake pad must be a
minimum of 1.6 mm (1/16") from belt or
pulley.
• If there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16") gap,
loosen idler adjustment nut and move
idler away from belt or pulley. Position
idler to achieve a 1.6 mm (1/16")
minimum brake pad gap and a
12.7 mm – 22.2 mm (1/2" – 7/8") gap
between the plastic roller and the
frame.
IMPORTANT: If adjustments cannot be
brought into specified ranges, see your
dealer for repair.
2. Return unit to operating position. See
Return Unit to Operating Position on
page 16.
Check Belt Finger Clearance
See Figure 32.
With the attachment clutch engaged, the belt
finger located opposite the belt idler must be
less than 3.2 mm (1/8") from belts, but must
not touch the belts.
To adjust belt finger:
1. Remove belt cover.
2. Loosen bolts and move belt finger to
correct position.
3. Tighten bolts and recheck belt finger
clearance.
4. Reinstall belt cover and tighten hardware.
ADJUST TRACTION DRIVE
CLUTCH
See Figure 33.
If unit does not drive correctly, adjust traction
clutch to compensate for friction disc wear.
1. Stop engine and wait for moving parts to
stop and for hot parts to cool.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Loosen jam nut on traction cable
adjustment barrel, and then turn
adjustment barrel down to shorten cable
and remove cable slack.
