CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
17.3
Clutch/Brake Adjustment:
As the clutch/brake wears, adjustments may be required to
maintain proper control cable tension, and clutch engagement.
If the clutch/brake begins slipping or squealing during normal
operation it may require an adjustment to increase the clutch
cable tension. A properly adjusted blade clutch should require a
minimum of 10 lbs. of force to completely depress the end of the
clutch lever.(See Fig. 4) Adjust by tightening or by loosening
clutch cable adjusting nut as required, located at the rear of the
engine base. When adjusting cable tension on blade control
cable be sure to leave slack in cable to allow for engagement of
blade brake. Replacement of cable or clutch/brake may be
necessary if adjustment will not allow for proper clutch and
brake engagement.
