6. Thread the height adjustment screw (F,
Figure 2-2) into the hole in the handlebar
cross-brace, making sure that the raised
keys on the washer fit into the slot on the
height adjustment bracket.  Tighten the
height adjustment screw securely.  Next,
securely tighten the two screws and nuts
in the ends of the handlebar (M, Figure 
2-2).

7. To remove the tiller from its shipping
platform, first carefully unwrap the wheel
gear cable (with attached lever - see Figure
2-4) from around the chassis.  Move the
Wheel Gear Lever (G) to the DISENGAGE
position--this allows the wheels to rotate
freely.  Use the handlebars to roll the tiller
off the platform.
NOTE:  The Wheel Gear Lever will be
installed later in this procedure.

IMPORTANT: Use the DISENGAGE posi-
tion only when the engine is not running.
Before starting the engine, the Wheel Gear
Lever must be placed in the ENGAGE posi-
tion (see Section 3 for details).  

1.  Carefully unwrap the reverse clutch
control cable (H, Figure 2-5) from its ship-
ping position and route it up along the
inside edge of the left side handlebar.  A
knob and large hex nut (I) is installed on
the cable.

2.  Insert the cable into the slot in the
control panel and fit the threaded assem-
bly into the hole in the slot (see Figure 2-
5).  Be sure that the flat side of the
threaded assembly is aligned with the flat
side of the hole.  Slide the hex nut (I) up
the cable and tighten it securely.

3.  Test the function of the reverse clutch
control cable by pulling the knob out and
releasing it.  The knob should return to its
neutral position against the tapered
bushing when it is released.  If it doesn’t,
contact your local dealer or the factory for
technical assistance. 

1.  Remove any fasteners (rubber bands,
tape, etc.) that may secure the Forward
Clutch Control levers (J, Figure 2-6) to the
handlebar.

2.  The forward clutch control cable (with
attached spring) is hanging loosely near
the right-side wheel.  Being careful not to
kink or stretch the cable, insert the z-con-
nector (L, Figure 2-7 – end of the spring)
into the hole at the end of the forward
clutch control linkage (K, Figure 2-6).

3.  Attach the cable adjuster (A, Figure 
2-8) to the bracket on the right-side han-
dlebar.  Use two 1/2" wrenches to loosen
the two jam nuts (B) just enough to slide
the cable adjuster onto the bracket.  Then
hand tighten the jam nuts.

4.  Check for correct spring/cable tension
as instructed in Section 5, Checking and
Adjusting Forward Clutch Belt Tension.
5.  When tension is correct, tighten the
two jam nuts (B, Figure 2-8) securely.
