2. Position belt guides D and E, Figure 32, across
from one another when the clutch is disengaged in
such
a
manner that the belt is retained in the disen­
gaged position. In addition, guide D must clear the
engine sheave by 1
/ 6 " a s
the clutch is moved from the
disengaged to the engaged position. Move guide D
rearward if necessary to obtain this clearance.
3. With clutch disengaged, tighten nuts B, Figure
31, to obtain 1/4" clearance between the implement
power clutch lever and rear of slot in the tractor
frame.
If after adjustment, the rear nuts B, Figure 31,
contact the pivot block when the clutch is engaged,
loosen bolt F, Figure 32, and move the idler closer to
the belt to provide additional adjustment. Repeat the
complete adjustment sequence if it becomes i
necessary to move the idler.
