ADJUST CLUTCH
For brake to function properly, there must ALWAYS be
some slight, noticeable slack in the control cable inner
wire when the impeller clutch bail is disengaged
1/4
- 3/8"
(lowered position). This allows extension spring to pull
idler arm/brake, braking belt. Bail should travel 6-3/4 to
7-1/4" (17.1-18.4 cm) before contacting handlebars on
models 938006-938012, 938301, 938303. If brake
does not stop impeller within 5 seconds of releasing
impeller clutch bail, inner wire slack must be adjusted.

increase in resistance (caused by stretch of control
cable spring) before impeller clutch bail contacts
handlebar. As drive belt seats and wears, increase in
resistance will occur closer to handlebar contact. If no
