FIG. 13--CLUTCH LOWER ADJUSTMENTS
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
To check clutch adjustment, stand tiller on front
end. Measure the length of both springs at the end of
the control cables then move the CLUTCH CON-
TROL UP to the handle bar and measure the extend-
ed length of both springs, When properly adjusted
the springs should extend 1/4 to 1/2 inches when
clutch is engaged. If adjustment is required, reposi-
tion the jam-nuts on the threaded ends of the cable
conduits. One end of the conduit is located under
the handle bar center panel and the others on the
right side of the frame. The one in back is for tine
rotation and the center is for wheel traction.To in-
crease spring extension, turn the jam-nuts toward
the end of cable or to decrease closer to the cable
fittings. Additional clutch adjustment can be made if
necessary at the idler under the belt cover--refer to
BELT TENSION adjustment for this procedure.
CLUTCH TEST: Return tiller to wheels, start engine
and pull CLUTCH CONTROL to handle bar then
release and observe tines and wheel drive which
should stop-if tines or wheels continue after clutch
control is released, the clutch spring extension is
too great. Readjust using the foregoing procedure.

DRIVEN DISC SERVICE
If the wheels loose traction, stand the tiller on end
and check the rubber driven disc. Poor traction
could be caused by an excessively worn driven disc
or by improper positioning of the disc. If the rubber
disc appears in good condition, shift the transmis-
sion into reverse then into #1 forward position. In
both settings, the rubber disc should be located out-
side of the indentation in the center of the metal
drive disc. If the rubber disc rides on the edge of in-
dentation in either setting, loosen the screws
holding the shift detent to the frame then tilt the de-
tent until the rubber disc is outside the edge of the
indentation. Securely tighten the detent screws. The
disc should be about equal distance from the outer
edge of the indentation in both reverse and #1 posi-
tions when properly adjusted.
Replace the driven disc if worn unevenly or if worn
down to the point where it no longer makes firm con-
tact with the drive disc. To replace, remove the three
flange nuts, slip the old disc off the hub then install
the replacement and secure with the three flange
nuts.
