Drive Clutch Cable Adjustment
Adjust the drive clutch control if the chipper shredder
vacuum moves forward with the drive clutch control
disengaged, if it does not self-propel with the drive
clutch control engaged, or if drive belt is slipping (unit
hesitates while engine maintains the same speed). Use
the adjustment wheel located in the clutch control
housing to tighten or loosen the clutch cable. In
addition, the adjustment wheel may also be used to
determine the position in which the drive clutch control
is engaged. If it is more comfortable to have the drive
engaged with the lever further away from the handle,
tighten the clutch cable. See Figure 12.
