depress the foot pedal all the way and adjust the set collar
at the rear of the spring so that the clutch rod spring is just
free to rotate on the rod. (See Figure 18).
Belt Stops:
If the main drive belt will not stop when the clutch is de¬
pressed, the belt stops may need adjusting.
The belt stops on the Serf tractor should be adjusted so
there is one-sixteenth to one-eighth inch between the belt
stop and the belt when the belt is tight (clutch engaged.)
To adjust a belt stop, loosen the bolt holding it, move the
belt stop to the proper position and re-tighten the,bolt.
Check the adjustment after the bolt has been tightened.
(See Illustration below)
The seat may be adjusted from front to rear as desired by
re-positioning the seat in any of the three sets of holes in
the seat support. Simply remove the nuts and lock washers
from the lower seat pan mounting bolts and re-position
the seat. Re-tighten the nuts securely.
Power Take-Off Rod Guide Adjustment:
Should an attachment fail to drive properly, the power
take-off clutch may need adjusting. The power take-off
clutch is normally in proper adjustment when there is one
fourth inch clearance between the set collar and the end of
the bracket when engaged. If more tension is needed or re¬
adjustment is necessary, disengage the power take-off
lever, loosen the collar set screw and slide the collar back
on the rod slightly. Engage the lever and check the belt
tension. Only enough tension to drive the implement be¬
ing used is necessary. Excess tension may cause prema¬
ture failure of belts and pulley bearings.
