If the belts are
too
loose,
put
the lever in For-
ward and slide the
adjustment
block
down
un-
til the tension is
enough
to
tighten
them. Then,
tighten the
bolt
a
little
more
than
finger
tight.
Put the lever in Forward and recheck the belt
tension-see
Photo
7/15. If you
now
have the
right tension,
tighten
up
the
adjustment
bolt
and
you are all set
to
go.
CAUTION:
Do
not
set
the
belt
tension
too
tight
or
your
Forward/Neutral/Reverse
Clutch
Lever
will keep
jumping
out
of
Forward. As
you
make
succeeding adjustments in
b~lt
tens[on
with
the
adjustment
block
(shown in Photo 7/15), the
block will
gradually
be lowered in its
mount-
ing. Another reason
for
a
tiller
"jumping"
out
of
Forward is a weak
clutch
pawl spring, part
#1122. Replace aweak spring.
NOTE: The travel
stop
(arrow E)
on
the
control
yoke rests on
top
of
the
adjustment
block
(ar-
row D, shown in Photo 7/15).
This
prevents ex-
cessive belt stretching when shifting
the
clutch
lever"in
and
out"
of
Forward.
It is
worthwhile
noting
that the
position
that
the
clutch
roller
takes on
the
clutch
adjustment
block
for
Neutral
will
gradually
work
itself
up-
ward on the block. This happens
gradually
with
each belt adjustment. When
the
block
is all
the
way down
to
the
bottom
and
the
belts are still
loose,
it
is time
for
a new set
of
belts. Write
to
our
Parts Department
for
a new set
of
matched
belts (part#1128).
