INITIAL ENGAGEMENT AND CLUTCH LOCK-UP INSPECTION
The LT-Z90 is equipped with a centrifugal type automatic clutch.
To insure proper performance and longevity of the clutch
assemblies it is essential that the clutches engage smoothly and
gradually. Before checking the initial engagement and clutch
lock-up two inspection checks must be performed to thoroughly
check the operation of the drive train. Perform the following:
• Warm up the engine.
INITIAL ENGAGEMENT INSPECTION

sion cord.
