NOTE: The pivot rod for early production models were nail
headed. Current production models have a pow-
ered medal end. See Figure 2.31.
NOTE: The shoulder nuts are attached to the clutch lock
cams with a socket head screw. The screw can be
removed using a 3/16" hex key.
NOTE: If the socket head screw is over torqued, the screw
head will sink into the plastic material of the Clutch
Lock Cam. The socket head screw will also pre-
vent the shoulder bolt from threading into the
shoulder bolt all the way.
NOTE: If the socket head screw is too loose, the Clutch
Cam Lock will not operate the Auger Control
Lever.
