SERVICE NOTES

DRIVE BELT SLIPS

1.

Lubricate contact surface between pivot bracket

assembly and adjustment plate.

2. Check pivot bracket assembly locknuts for excessive

tightness.

3. Check control rod for improper assembly. If adjust­

ment tube is attached to lower end instead of upper
end, it may bind on control lever and prevent full
use of tension spring.

4.

If spring tension is still insufficient, adjust to

another mounting hole on control lever.

5. Some measure of belt adjustment may be made by

loosening the mounting bolts on the adjustment plate
and moving as needed. This adjustment is usually
used for reverse drive wheel adjustments.

6. Large pulley and belt may be rubbing on lower belt

guard.

7. Idler pulley must operate freely.

8. Belt guard or clips must not touch the belt when it

is tightened.

REVERSE DRIVE WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

1. Reverse drive wheel should line up with its matching

pulley. If it does not, loosen pulley to which revers­

ing drive wheel is attached and align as needed.
When reassembling, tighten set screw securely.

2. Matching pulley for reversing drive wheel can be

mounted one way only. The reversing drive wheel

must operate in the deeper groove.

3. If belt retainer tpuches engine pulley after adjust­

ment, move to outside mounting or bend away as
needed.

4.

Additional reverse adjustment may be made by

loosening the mounting bolts on the adjustment plate
and moving as needed.

5. Reverse should operate only when control handle

assembly is

held

in reverse position. Adjust control

rod for proper operating position.

NOTE; If belts are excessively stretched, replacement
will be necessary.

This instruction manual covers various model

models, and all accessories shown do not neces­

sarily apply to your model tiller.
