STEP 8: Check the clearance between the clutch cable
and clutch spring. NOTE: Clearance between spring and
cable is very important. Excessive clearance will cause
drive system not to operate when wheel drive control
handle is depressed. No clearance at all will cause mower
to continue to propell itself when wheel drive control handle
is released to stop the mowers forward movement. Slide
vinyl spring cover (located at the end of clutch cable) up
clutch cable to gain access to the end of spring and cable
loop. With wheel drive control handle released, clearance
between spring hook and cable loop should be 1/16” to
1/8”. If clearance is more or less than specified, unhook
spring from clutch cable eye, then adjust by turning inner
spring in an opposite direction than the outer spring.
Rehook spring to clutch cable eye. Slide vinyl cover over
the spring when correct clearance is reached. See Figure
10.

C. Slide driven disc assembly over until 1/8” from
outside edge of drive disc. Maintaining the 1/8”
measurement, remove any looseness from the
linkage. This can be done by holding the transfer
rod and applying pressure to the left, (as viewed
from operators position), then retighten the
connector hex-nut securely. See Figure 13. Move
shift rod to the number one speed position, then
back to the number six speed position. Recheck the
1/8” measurement described previously. Reinstall
driven disc spring to driven disc assembly.
