Reverse Clutch Control Cable Attachment
(Model 390 only).

If the spring has come

loose, attach the end of the reverse cable to
the reverse drive lever above the handle
assembly in the same manner as you attached
the forward cable.

NOTE

The reverse clutch cable is the cable which is
attached closer to the front of the tiller.

3-5.6 Clutch Adjustment.

WARNING

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug to
prevent accidental starting. Secure the end of
spark plug wire in V slot on the engine.

1.Engage and release the forward drive clutch

lever, then the reverse drive clutch lever
(model 390 only). If an excessive noise is
heard when releasing either drive clutch lever,
the cable may be too loose. Adjust either the
forward or reverse clutch cable by loosening
the hex nut, threading the rod into the cable
one or two turns, then tightening the nut.

2.With the clutch(es) in neutral (levers released),

pull the starter rope several times. The tines
should not turn. If they turn forward, loosen hex
nut on forward drive cable (beneath the handle
assembly). Unthread rod from cable several
turns. Tighten hex nut and check again for cor-
rect adjustment. If the tines turn in reverse,
adjust the reverse cable (above the handle
panel) in the same manner. See Figure 3-46.

lows:
