Servicing the Traction Drive

Adjusting the Traction Drive
As the friction wheels and tires experience normal wear, it
will be necessary to adjust the traction drive linkage
occasionally.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Loosen the lower nut on the bottom side of the bracket
(Fig. 24).

3. Tighten the upper nut to move the cable housing
upward (Fig. 24), which in turn moves the friction
wheel closer to the tire. (In effect, this shortens the
cable to compensate for the wear.)
Note: If you cannot adjust the cable any further, move the
bracket to the upper hole in the handle and start the
adjustment procedure over again (Fig. 24).
4. When the proper adjustment is attained, tighten the
lower nut against the bracket to secure the adjustment
(Fig. 24).
If you adjusted the traction drive but the wheels do not
turn when the lever is operated, adjust the drive belt.
Adjusting the Drive Belt
Adjust the drive belt if loss of traction occurs or if the belt
slips. Adjust the traction drive first.
1. Stop the engine and pull the wire off of the spark plug.
2. Loosen the nut and slide the pulley until belt is at the
proper tension (Fig. 25).
