Adjusting the Wheel Clutch
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, YOU MUST FIRST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, SET THE
PARKING BRAKE, WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW PARTS TO COOL AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK
PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, tension on the Wheel Clutch Lever should increase when the Lever is about
parallel to (almost touching) the Handlebar Grip.
Tools Needed:
•
(2) 1/2" Wrenches
1. Raise the Dump Bed to expose the Wheel Clutch Adjustment Bracket (Figure 32).
2. If the Wheel Clutch Lever contacts the Handlebar without engaging the Wheel, tighten the Clutch by
loosening the Nut on the underside (threaded) of the Bracket by 1/8" to 1/4", and tightening the
Nut on the outside against the Bracket. Check the tension on the Wheel Clutch Lever and repeat the
adjustment as needed.
3. If the Wheels engage before you activate the Lever or the Lever does not contact the Handlebar
when activated, reverse the adjustment in step 2.
IF YOU OVER TIGHTEN THE CLUTCH, THE MACHINE MAY LURCH FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING
INTO GEAR. USE CAUTION WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR.
