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 22).

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: After extended use, the drive belt may wear

and lose its proper belt tension. If the drive belt

slips (continuously squeals) under a heavy load,

disconnect the spring from the adjustor link and

move the upper end of the spring to the hole that

is further from the pivot point in the control bar

(Figure 23). Then connect the spring to the adjustor

link and adjust 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.

Inspecting the Rotor Blades

Service Interval: Yearly—Inspect the rotor blades and

have an Authorized Service Dealer

necessary.

Before each session, inspect the rotor blades for wear.

When a rotor blade edge has worn down to the wear

indicator hole, have an Authorized Service Dealer

replace the rotor blades and the scraper (Figure 24).
