WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL
ADJUSTMENT
(911175, 179)
See Figure 19.
NOTICE: The unit should stop immediately
when the wheel drive control is released, and
the unit should not creep forward when the
wheel drive control is disengaged with the
engine running. The unit’s forward speed
should increase as the wheel drive control
gets closer to the handlebar.
If the unit creeps, decrease traction and
speed. If the unit does not accelerate
smoothly or seems to slip under load,
increase the traction and speed.
NOTICE: Before adjusting the wheel drive
cable, first make sure the area around the
drive components is free of dirt or debris that
could prevent the transmission from engaging
or disengaging properly, and then make sure
the return spring is connected properly to the
transmission bracket.
Adjust the wheel drive by adjusting the cable
on the handlebar.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT adjust the cable so
the transmission does not return to neutral
and stop the unit when the wheel drive
control is released.
Check The Adjustment
1. Start the engine and slowly squeeze the
wheel drive control against the
handlebar and then release the wheel
drive control.
2. The unit should move forward as you
