MAINTENANCE
NOTE: After extended use, the drive belt may wear
and result in a loss of belt tension. Improper belt
tension allows the belt to slip and decreases the
performance under a heavy load. Belt slippage may
occur after two or three seasons of normal usage (10 to
15 hours). If the drive belt slips (continuously squeals)
under a heavy load, increase the belt tension by
positioning the spring end in the other hole in the
control bar bracket as shown in Figure 81. Adjust the
gap between the control bar bracket and the handle to
1/8 to 1/4 in. (3 to 6mm).
3.
Hold the control bar against the right side of the
handle as shown in Figure 11.
NOTE: Using the incorrect adjusting hole in the control
bar bracket can reduce the drive belt life. Occasional
belt slippage (squealing) may occur in extremely wet
conditions due to moisture in the drive system. To
remove moisture, start the rotor and operate it without
a load for 30 seconds. Once you remove the moisture,
the drive belt should not slip.

4.
Ensure that the distance between the pivot plate
and the wheel frame is 0 to 1/8 in. (0 to 3mm) as
shown in Figure 83.
Check the pivot cable for proper adjustment initially,
after the first operating hour, and then annually
thereafter.
Checking the Pivot Cable
1.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
2.
Squeeze the control bar toward the handle.
