2. Z-fitting
Note: You can pull up the adjuster link and cable to
make unhooking the spring easier.
2. Move the Z-fitting to a higher or lower hole on the
adjuster link as needed to obtain the 1/16-inch to
1/8-inch (2 mm to 3 mm) gap between the control bar
and the handle (Figure 10).
Note: Moving the Z-fitting higher decreases the gap
between the control bar and the handle; moving it
lower increases the gap.
3. Hook the spring to the adjuster link and slide the spring
cover over the adjuster link.
4. Check the adjustment; refer to Checking the Control
Cable.
Note: The belt may slip (squeal) in wet conditions;
to dry out the drive system, start the rotor and run it
without a load for 30 seconds.
