2. Slip the wire up through the slot on the cable
bracket underneath the handle. Push the end of
the casing up through the cable bracket.
Rethread the hex nut on the end of the cable.

Figure 10 Viewed beneath handle panel.
3. Pull the cable upwards to obtain slack, and, from
right to left, hook the “Z” end of the cable into the
bracket on the clutch control (beneath the
handle panel) as shown in Figure 10. Tighten
the nut against the cable bracket.
NOTE: Do not overtighten control wire. Too much
tension may cause it to break.
FINAL CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: Service the engine with oil and
gasoline before checking this adjustment. Refer to
the separate engine manual packed with your tiller.
1. Position the tiller so the front counterweight is
against a solid object, such as a wall. With the
gear selection lever in NEUTRAL, start the
engine. Refer to Operation section.
NOTE: Keep hands out of belt area while unit is
operating.
2. Standing on the right side of the tiller, visually
examine the belt (inside the belt cover). It should
not be turning.
If the belt turns with the unit in neutral, adjust
by moving the hex nut below the cable bracket
down a few turns. See Figure 10. Tighten the
upper hex nut against the bracket.
3. Now move the shift lever to FORWARD (Wheels
Forward) position. Carefully engage the clutch
by squeezing the clutch handle against the
handle. The wheels should spin.
4. If the wheels do not spin with the unit in
forward, adjust by moving the hex nut which is
above the cable bracket up a few turns. Tighten
the bottom hex nut against the bracket.
Recheck both adjustments, and readjust as neces-
sary. Make certain hex nuts at cable bracket are tight
(do not overtighten control cable).
NOTE: If additional adjustment is required, it may be
necessary to remove the belt cover, and move the
hex nuts at the other end of the clutch cable to
increase belt tension.
