HOW TO CHECK AND
ADJUST THE CABLES
The cables are adjusted at the factory
and no adjustment should be neces-
sary. If the cables have become
stretched or are sagging an adjustment
will be necessary.
Whenever belts are adjusted or re-
placed, the cables will need to be ad-
justed.
To check for correct adjustment, un-
hook "Z" fitting at clutch lever (see
Figure 42).
1. Move clutch lever to the full forward
position (just contacting plastic
bumper). Holding cable tight, note
position of fitting to hole in clutch le-
ver.

be between the center and top of
the hole in the clutch lever. Adjust
either the auger drive cable or the
traction drive cable as necessary
according to the following instruc-
tions.
