Check Attachment Brake
Figure 33
1. With the clutch lever disengaged, brake
pad must contact attachment belt. With
clutch lever engaged, brake pad must be
more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from belt. If
there is more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap,
go to Traction Drive Clutch Adjustment
on page 27. If there is less than 1/16 in.
(1.6 mm) gap, go to Step 2.
2. If there is less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm)
gap between brake pad and belt, follow
these steps:
a. To increase brake pad gap,
loosen idler adjustment nut, and
move idler away from belt.
Position idler to achieve a 1/16 in.
(1.6 mm) minimum brake pad gap
and a 1/2 – 7/8 in. (12.7 –
22.2 mm) gap between the
plastic roller and the frame.
b. Check the clutch cable spring
extension and adjust as
necessary to achieve a
1/2 – 9/16 in. (12.7 – 14.3 mm)
spring extension.
c. If the cable needed adjustment,
recheck gaps described in step 1.
Repeat steps as necessary until
brake clearance, roller gap and
spring extension are within
specified ranges.
IMPORTANT: If adjustments cannot be
brought into specified ranges see your Dealer
for repairs.
TRACTION DRIVE CLUTCH
ADJUSTMENT
If drive slips, adjust traction clutch to
compensate for friction disc wear.
To test traction clutch (Figure 34):
1. Put unit in first forward speed.
2. With power switch off, push unit forward
while slowly moving the traction drive
clutch lever toward the handlebar.
3. Measure distance between lever and
handlebar when the wheels begin to
brake. If distance is not 7-1/2 – 8 in.
(19.0 – 20.3 cm), adjust the traction
clutch.
To adjust traction clutch (Figure 35):
1. With the traction drive clutch lever
disengaged, loosen the jam nut on the
cable adjuster.
Turn adjustment barrel up the cable to
decrease the distance between clutch
lever and handlebar.
Turn the adjustment barrel down the
cable to increase the distance between
clutch lever and handlebar.
2. Check traction clutch lever distance and
repeat adjustment steps if necessary.
3. Tighten jam nut on traction cable
adjustment barrel.
4. With the clutch disengaged, check that
there is more than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm)
clearance between friction disc and
drive plate assembly. See Figure 36 on
page 28.
