•

Remove one hex nut from the threaded casing on 
the end of the cable. Slip the wire up through the 
slot on the cable bracket underneath the handle.

•

Push the end of the casing up through the cable 
bracket. Rethread the hex nut on the end of the 
cable. Do not tighten at this time.

•

Pull the cable upwards to obtain slack and hook the 
Z end of the cable from right to left into the bracket 
on the clutch control (beneath the handle panel). 
Tighten the nut against the cable bracket.
See Figure 7.

NOTE: Do not overtighten clutch cable, since too much
tension may cause it to break.

 Service the engine with oil and gasoline 

before checking this adjustment. Refer to the separate 
engine manual packed with your tiller.

•

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 Operation section.

NOTE:  Keep hands out of belt area while unit is
operating.

•

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

•

If the belt turns with the unit in neutral, adjust by 
moving the hex nut below the cable bracket down a 
few turns.Tighten the upper hex nut against the 
bracket. See Figure 7.

•

Now move the shift lever to FORWARD (Wheels 
Forward) position. Carefully engage the clutch by 
squeezing the clutch handle against the handle. 
The wheels should spin.

•

If the wheels do not spin with the unit in 
forward, adjust by moving the hex nut which is 
above the cable bracket up a few turns. Tighten the 
bottom hex nut against the bracket.

Recheck both adjustments, and readjust as necessary. 
Make certain hex nuts at cable bracket are tight (do not 
overtighten clutch cable).

NOTE:  If additional adjustment is required, it may be
necessary to remove the belt cover and move the hex
nuts at the other end of the clutch cable to increase belt
tension.

The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping 
purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating 
the unit. Recommended operating tire pressure is 
approximately 14 p.s.i. on 14 inch tires. Check the 
sidewall of tire for tire manufacturer’s recommended 
pressure.
