TRIMMER/MOWER
Before adjusting the trimmer head belt tension cable, check that the belt is properly installed (see Figure 21 on page 16). Also
make sure the Cable is attached to the bail bar.
Adjusting the Belt Tension through the Trimmer Control Cable
The Belt will stretch a little when new, then more over time. If the Trimmer
Head does not spin with the Bail Bar engaged, adjust the Trimmer Control
Cable to put more tension on it. The Adjuster is located on the Control Cable
itself.
1. Locate the Trimmer Head Cable along the left Handlebar. There is an In-
Line Adjuster to change the tension on the Cable (Figure 24).
2. You can take the slack out of the cable by holding the Hex Flat Sections of
the In-Line Adjuster and rotating the body of the In-Line Adjuster in the
counterclockwise direction as you look down on the cable. If the Cable is too
tight, you can loosen the Cable by twisting the adjuster in the opposite
direction.
3. If the In-Line Adjuster Cable is adjusted all the way out and more adjustment
is needed then the Belt needs to be replaced.
