Check Attachment Idler Arm Roller
Clearance
(Figure 29)
NOTE: It will be difficult to check the
measurement inside the frame. Use a 12.7
mm minimum spacer as a gauge to check the
clearance between the roller and the frame.
1. Place the unit into the service position.
Remove the bottom cover.
2. With the clutch lever engaged, check the
clearance between the frame and plastic
roller on the lower end of the attachment
idler arm (Figure 29).
• If roller is 12.7 – 22.2 mm from frame,
no further adjustments are required.
• If roller is less than 12.7 mm from
frame, loosen idler adjustment nut and
move idler closer to the belt. Tighten
adjustment nut and recheck the roller
clearance.
• If roller is more than 22.2 mm from
frame, loosen idler adjustment nut and
move idler away from the belt. Tighten
adjustment nut and recheck roller
clearance.

3. Position idler to achieve a 1.6 mm
minimum brake pad gap and a 12.7 –
22.2 mm gap between the plastic roller
and the frame.

move the finger to the proper position.
Tighten the bolts and recheck the belt
