FORWARD CLUTCH
BAIL ADJUSTMENT
If the Forward Clutch Bail does not function
properly, first check that the forward
drive belt is adjusted properly (see
Checking and Adjusting Forward Drive
Belt Tension). If this fails to correct the
problem, contact the factory Technical
Service Department or your authorized
dealer for service advice.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
REVERSE DRIVE BELT TENSION
(Models 12209/12210 only)
It is important to maintain correct tension
on the reverse drive belt. A loose belt will
cause the tines and wheels to slow down –
or stop completely – even though the
engine is running at full speed.
When checking belt tension, also check
the belt for cracks, cuts or frayed edges
and replace it as soon as possible.
• Check belt tension after the first two
hours of break-in operation and after
every 10 operating hours.
