CLUTCH / BRAKE BURNISHING
A new clutch, or one that has not
been used for three months, will
require burnishing to dress drive
surfaces. The clutch could fail if
you do not accomplish the follow-
ing procedure.
Place tractor in neutral, start engine and run
at fast idle. Turn clutch switch on 30 seconds
and off 30 seconds, fi ve times at half-throttle
and repeat fi ve times at full throttle. The time
interval allows the clutch surface to cool.
STEERING LEVER ADJUSTMENT
To adjust steering levers, loosen 3 prong
thumb nuts that secure the upper levers to
the lower. This allows the upper levers to
be moved backward (refer to Fig. 9). Set
levers to a comfortable position for the opera-
tor. Hold levers in position and tighten thumb
nuts. The levers must line up when in neutral
position and maintain a minimum of one inch
of clearance between end of levers.
