How to Check and Adjust the Clutch
If the motion drive belt is loose, the clutch will slip
when; (1) going up a hill, (2) pulling a heavy load, or
(3) the unit will not move forward. Adjust the clutch as
follows.
WARNING: Before you make an inspection,
adjustment, or repair to the unit, disconnect
the wire to the spark plug. Remove the wire
from the spark plug to prevent the engine
from starting by accident.
1. Check the routing of the motion drive belt. Make
sure the belt is installed correctly and is inside all
the belt guides.
2. Remove the cotter pin, washer, and brake
spring from the adjustable nut (Figure 23).
3. Disconnect the adjustable nut from the brake
lever assembly and the parking brake latch.
4. Align the hole in the brake lever with the hole in
the frame. Hold the brake lever in place with a
1/4 inch (6 mm) pin or bolt (Figure 23).
5. Pull the clutch rod forward until tight. Turn the
adjustable nut until the nut will fit through the
hole in the brake lever.
6. Assemble the adjustable nut to the parking
brake latch, brake lever and brake spring.
Fasten with the washer and cotter pin.
7. Remove the 1/4 inch (6 mm) pin or bolt.
8. If the belt still slips after the clutch has been
adjusted, then the motion drive belt is worn or
damaged and must be replaced. See "How To
Replace The Motion Drive Belt".
