c) Adjusting the shock absorbers
The shock absorbers can be fixed to the front and rear axle in different positions. The spring will react differently de-
pending on the geometrics between the chassis and axles. However, this only has a very small impact on the vehicle.
We therefore recommend that you do not change the position of the shock absorbers.
d) Adjusting the friction clutch
The friction clutch protects the drive against overload (e.g. on non-slip surfaces).
The manufacturer has configured the optimal setting, therefore you do not need to make any changes un-
less this is necessary. It may be necessary to tighten the clutch slightly after prolonged use.
To adjust the clutch, proceed as follows:
Remove the two screws (A) on the gearbox cover (B), and
then remove the gearbox cover.
Turn the hex nut (C) to adjust the clutch.
Turn the hex nut clockwise to increase the drive power
to the gearbox, or anticlockwise to decrease the power
transmission.
If the clutch is too tight, all of the engine power will be transferred and the clutch will not function. This may
damage the differential.
If the clutch is too "soft", this will result in heavy wear on the clutch. In addition, acceleration will be very
poor, or the vehicle may not move at all (spinning clutch).
Adjust the clutch in small steps (max. 1/4 turn) and check how the vehicle responds. Make a note of each
change so that you can revert to the previous setting if necessary.
