should be necessary. If the cables have become stretched
or are sagging adjustment will be necessary.

need to be adjusted.

clutch lever (see Figure 40).

tacting plastic bumper). Holding cable tight, note posi-
tion of fitting to hole in clutch lever.

and top of the hole in the clutch lever. Adjust either the
auger drive cable or the traction drive cable as follows.
