3- See Figure 5. If clutch does not operate as described
above in steps 1 and 2, loosen wire clamp setscrew and ad¬
just wire clamp on forward or reverse control rod to obtain
required spring tension.
SCRAPERS
See Figure 6. Loosen scraper mounting nut and adjust
scraper in its slot to 1/8-inch clearance above wheels. Tighten
nut when adjustment completed.
BELT TENSION
See Figure 15. Normally belt tension can be adjusted by in¬
creasing control rod spring tension (moving wire clamp fur¬
ther up control rod). After some use belts may stretch so
that this adjustment cannot be made. If this occurs, loosen
engine mounting nuts, slide slotted shims from original lo¬
cation, and slide one or more of them between engine and
frame. Tighten engine mounting nuts securely.
DEPTH BAR
Figure 15.
See Figure 7. The depth bar setting determines the depth
of tilling. To till 4 to 6 inches deep, install the bar mount¬
ing pin in the second or third hole from the TOP. Pull out
the hairpin clip to change pin location. Be sure to install the
digging tip as shown. THE DEEPER THE DEPTH BAR
IS SET INTO THE SOIL, THE DEEPER THE TINES WILL
DIG.
PULLEY ALIGNMENT
1. See Figure 16. Check location of the two engine pulleys.
A distance of approximately 1-1/4 inches from center to
center is correct. Loosen engine pulley setscrews and adjust
accordingly. Be sure engine pulley setscrews are tightened
securely.
2. See Figure 16. Visually check alignment of drive pulleys
to idler pulleys. Pulleys must be aligned as closely as pos¬
sible or belts will be stretched and worn excessively. Loosen
engine pulley setscrews and adjust accordingly maintaining
the 1-1/4 inches between engine pulley centers. Be sure en¬
gine pulley setscrews are tightened securely.
