GROUND DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. 22)
For proper belt tension, the extension spring should have
about 5/8" stretch when tine control is in “EN GAGED” posi-
tion. This tension can be attained as follows:
• Loosen cable clip screw securing the drive control
cable.
• Slide cable forward for less tension and rearward for
more tension until about 5/8 inch stretch is obtained
while the tine control is engaged.
• Tighten cable clip screw securely.
