 Service the engine with oil and gasoline 

before checking this adjustment. Refer to the separate 
engine manual packed with your tiller for proper fuel 
and engine oil recommendations.

Position the tiller so the front counterweight is against a 
solid object, such as a wall. With the gear selection 
lever in NEUTRAL, start the engine. Refer to the 
separate engine manual.

Standing on the right side of the tiller, examine the belt 
(inside the belt cover). It should not be turning.

If the belt turns without bail engaged, adjust by 
unthreading the internally threaded tube at the end of 
the cable a few turns clockwise (when standing in 
operator’s position), and then retighten the nut against 
the tube.
