11.5. If either arm binds or exhibits excessive play,
inspect the bushings that the arm pivots on.
See Figure 11.5.
11.6. Measure the gap between the closest point of
the pad to the pulley.
NOTE: Because the tension springs that apply
and return the clutch pulley brake arm are
mounted to the bottom of the arm the closest
point between the pad and the clutch pulley is
likely to be at the bottom edge of the pad.
11.7. Adjust the travel stop bolt using a 7/16” wrench
to loosen the jam nut and a 3/8” wrench to turn
the bolt. See Figure 11.7.
11.8. Loosen the jam nut, adjust the bolt so that there
is 1/8” of clearance between the brake pad and
the clutch pulley,
11.9. Tighten the jam nut to lock the adjustment.
11.10. Loosen the jam nuts on either side of the ferrule
using a pair of 1/2” wrenches.
11.11. Thread the ferrule up or down the threaded end
of the cable housing to reach a point where the
pin on the ferrule slips easily through the hole in
the clutch pulley brake arm.
NOTE: The cable should be taught, but the
spring that connects the cable to the brake arm
should not be under enough tension to bring the
driven clutch pulley brake pad into contact with
the pulley when the ferrule is installed.
11.12. Secure the ferrule to the brake arm using a hair-
pin clip and flat washer.
11.13. Tighten the jam nuts against both sides of the
ferrule using a pair of ½” wrenches.
11.14. Operate the brake pedal and shift lever to insure
that they work correctly.
NOTE: If difficulty is encountered engaging
either gear while the parking brake is set, the
cable needs to be tightened slightly.
11.15. Install the belt guard using two 1/2” wrenches.
11.16. Lower, and secure the bed.
11.17. Lower the Big
11.18. country to the ground
11.19. Test drive the vehicle to check the following
functions:
