18. Check clutch control for positive over-center
action in disengaged position. Adjust rod length if
necessary.
19. To adjust rod length to achieve positive over-
center locking, loosen the jam nut on top of the
clevis at the bottom of the clutch lever.
20. Remove the cotter pin A and clevis pin B, and the
two bushings C on the control handle. Turn the
rod to shorten or lengthen the rod as required
and reattach the rod to the handle with the clevis
pin.
21. Double check to ensure over-center locking
action. When proper locking action is obtained,
completely assemble control handle and tighten
jam nut.
22. Engage and disengage clutch control lever
several times and check to see that belt stops
work properly. The belts should be held firmly,
but not pinched severely, with reel drive lever
disengaged.
NOTE:
Overtight belt stops will cause undo
wear on reel drive belts.
23. Belt stop tension on the reel belts can be
adjusted by loosening the screw D in the reel belt
idler assembly and screwing it in or out to adjust
the tension on the idler arm when it is in the
disengaged position.
24. Disengage the clutch lever. Check the tips of the
two belt stops E & F. The gap G should be a
minimum of 1/32" (1 mm) between the tips of the
stops. If necessary, loosen reel idler pivot plate
and adjust accordingly.
25. The belt stops should be perpendicular to the reel
belts and parallel to each other. Make sure reel
drive idler pulley is centered and aligned over reel
drive belts.
