Check action of reverse disc:
1. Make certain that the linkages
for the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive
Lever are lubricated with oil and
the engine mount bars and the belt
adjustment block are lubricated with
grease. See “Tiller Lubrication”
in this Section for instructions.
2. Place the Wheels/Tines/PTO
Drive Lever in “NEUTRAL”. Now
pull the engine starter rope, briefly,
while watching the reverse disc.
The reverse disc should turn, but
the lower pulley should not (Photo
6-34). If the reverse disc turns the
iower puiley, or if it is located
closer than 3/16-inch to the lower
pulley, then the reverse adjustment
bolt should be adjusted upward,
as explained in the adjustment in
structions that foiiow. Moving the
reverse adjustment boit upward wili
also correct the problem of a tiller
that goes into reverse by itself.
3. Use your left hand to hold the
Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever up
in “REVERSE”, while you briefly
pull the engine starter rope with
your right hand. The reverse disc
should turn the lower pulley (Photo
6-35). If it doesn’t, or if it takes a
great deal of pressure to hold the
lever up in the reverse position,
then the reverse adjustment bolt
should be adjusted downward.
When adjusted correctly, the
Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever
should “pop” out of reverse when
the lever is released, but it should
not require exceptional effort to
hold it in the reverse position.
4. Shift the Wheels/Tines/PTO
Drive Lever into “REVERSE” and
then let it go. The lever should
return to “NEUTRAL”, if it doesn’t,
the reverse adjustment bolt will
have to be raised upward.
6-34: With shift lever in “NEUTRAL”, only the reverse
disc should turn.
6-35: With shift lever in “REVERSE”, the reverse disc
should turn the transmission pulley.
