TRACTION DRIVE CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
If drive slips, adjust traction clutch to compensate for
friction disc wear.
To adjust traction clutch:
1. Place speed selector in fastest forward speed.
2. Place unit in service position.
3. Measure the length of the traction drive clutch
spring at the top of the traction cable. See Figure
37.
4. Engage and hold the traction drive clutch lever
and measure the spring again. The spring should
be 1/2 – 11/16 in. (12.7 – 17.5 mm) longer when
the lever is engaged.
5. Adjust spring extension.
a. With the traction drive clutch lever
disengaged, loosen the jam nut on the cable
adjuster.
b. Turn the adjuster body up the cable for more
spring extension.
c. Turn the adjuster body down the cable for
less spring extension.
d. Finger tighten the jam nut, and then hold the
adjuster body with pliers and tighten the jam
nut with wrench.
6. Measure the extension of the traction drive clutch
spring.
7. Repeat step 5 until traction drive clutch spring
lengthens 1/2 – 11/16 in. (12.7 – 17.5 mm) when
the traction drive clutch lever is engaged.
8. With the clutch disengaged, check that there is
more than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) clearance between
friction disc and drive plate assembly.
IMPORTANT: If spring length cannot be adjusted
within specified range, see your Dealer for repairs.
