4.8 ADJUSTING THE LEVERS
Initial adjustment:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Shift the transmission into neutral and operate the
steering levers a couple of times. Do not roll the
machine.
3. With the steering levers in the disengaged position,
adjust the clutch rods until the gap between the
end of each steering lever and handlebar grip is
2-1/2 to 3 inches. Obtain this measurement by
adjusting the clevis on the end of each clutch rod.
4. Adjust the brakes by turning the wing nut below the
compression spring on each brake rod until the
desired amount of brake engagement is achieved
when each steering lever is fully engaged. The
brake adjustment is correct when the compression
springs on the brake rods measure from 7/8 to
1 inch with the steering levers engaged into the
steering lever latches.
NOTE:
The traction belt must be disengaged as the
brake starts to engage.
5. Start the engine and try in low gear to check for
proper engagement. With a new unit, new brakes
or new belts, two or three readjustments will be
required in the first hour of operation.
Readjusting the steering levers:
1. Repeat steps 3 and 4 above.
2. Check to see if the gap between the steering lever
and handlebar is 2-1/2 to 3 inches. If not, readjust
per step 4 above.
4.9 ADJUSTING THE SHIFT LEVER
Pro 100 & Pro 150
The transmission shift lever is fastened to the
transmission shift arm with two 5/16-18 bolts. The bolt
holes in both the arm and lever are slotted. When the
shift lever is adjusted correctly, it is centered in the
forward slot and is just touching the reverse stop when
the transmission is in neutral.
NOTE:
You should not be able to shift into reverse
without pushing down on the shift lever.
1. Stop engine and disconnect the shifting lever from
the shift arm.
2. Make sure the transmission is shifted into neutral
(move the shift arm until the unit rolls freely).
3. Move the shift lever to the first gear position by
rotating the shift arm on the transmission
counterclockwise on position (this will be first
gear).
4. Loosely attach the shifting lever.
5. Position the shifting lever in the first gear position
and tighten the bolts.
WARNING:
Improper adjustment of steering
levers can cause a loss of steering control.
