CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running
(e.g.
carburetor),
disengage
all
clutches, and blades. Keep clear of
all moving parts. Be careful of
heated surfaces and muffler.
3. Tighten the outside nut against the inside nut,
using two
Vz"
wrenches. See figure 20.
NOTE
Friction pads must be replaced when
the inside of cam lever touches the
housing.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load. To adjust the carburetor, refer to
the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
During normal operation of this machine, the
brake is subject to wear and will require periodic
examination and adjustment.
CAUTION
Do not have the engine running
when you adjust the brake.
FIGURE 20.
To adjust the brake, proceed as follows.
1. Tighten the inside nut until the cam lever can
not be moved by hand.
2. Loosen the inside nut until the cam lever can
be pushed forward so that there is a 1/8" to
3/16" space between the cam lever and stop
bolt. See figure 19.
LUBRICATION
STEERING GEARS
Lubricate teeth of steering gears with automotive
multi-purpose grease after every 25 hours of
