SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE,
DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
WARNING
The WT24S operates with a 3-speed transmission.
Periodically, the shift cable may need to be adjusted to
allow proper function of all three gears.
To adjust:
1. Locate in-line adjustor on the shift
cable.
2. Loosen the smaller nut (1) to allow
adjustment of the larger adjustment
barrel (2).
3. Tighten or loosen the adjustment
barrel, to lengthen or shorten
as needed, to achieve all three
positions of the transmission.
4. Once proper adjustment is
achieved, re-tighten the smaller
nut to secure.

TRIMMER BAIL ADJUSTMENT
Periodically, the trimmer engagement cable may need to
be adjusted to account for belt break-in and wear.
Increase belt tension by loosening the top 1/2” nut. Loosen
nut 1-1/2 turns at a time and tighten the lower 1/2” nut.
Keep adjusting until desired belt tension is accomplished
without the trimmer disk continuing to turn. If the disk head
turns without the bail engaged, there is too much tension.
Decrease belt tension by loosening the lower 1/2” nut.
Loosen nut 1-1/2 turns at a time and tighten the upper
1/2” nut. Proper belt tension is accomplished when the
trimmer disk turns upon engagement and stops turning
upon releasing the engagement bail.
