The offset adjustment is a factor that will affect the ef-
ficiency of the transmission system.
Proper offset adjustment will allow the drive belt to
operate at its highest speed and will reduce wear to a
minimum.
O
NOTE: Before pulley alignment, always check drive
belt tension. Refer to section 03,
sub-section
02
"Drive Belt".
OFFSET MEASUREMENT
All models,
except
Blizzard and Everest models must
have 34 mm (1
11/32")
offset.
O
NOTE: As illustrated below, a tolerance up to 1.5
mm
(1/16")
is allowed to compensate for the twist
due to the drive pulley torque. Refer to the
illustration.

The Blizzard 9700 model must have 34.5 mm (1

offset.
The Blizzard 5500 MX and Everest 500/E/L/C models
must have 32.5 mm (1
9/32")
offset.
Because of the floating type driven pulley,
th
e
offset
must be measured after pushing the driven pulley against
the bearing flange.

OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
Elan-Spirit
Two methods
can
be used to adjust offset:
- Drive pulley alignment (first method):
If drive pulley is too far
in
,
remove drive pulley and add
shim(s) on crankshaft. Shim PIN 504 0504 00 (,032"
thickness) .
_
CAUTION: Never
use
more than 5 shims on crank-
y
shaft,
•
WARNING: Always torque drive pulley bolt
within
specifications.
(See
Technical Data),
-
Driven pulley alignment (second method):
If drive pulley is too far out, add shim(s) between frame
and chaincase. Shim PIN 504050400 (,032" thickness).
