LIFT LEVER LOCKOUT
The lift lever can be locked out so it is free floating and the
rachet does not engage. This is done by depressing the
thumb button on top of the lift lever and moving the lock¬
out in the direction of the arrow, (see Fig. 11)
CLUTCH AND BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The clutch and brake should always be adjusted at the same
time. To adjust:
1. Loosen the elastic stop nut until the chain is slack.
2. Tighten the elastic stop nut until the SLACK is out of
the chain and there is 1/32 free play between yoke
and bearing when clutch is engaged. Bearing should be
free to rotate with shaft.
3. Depress the clutch brake pedal all the way and check
the distance between the pressure plate and the clutch
disc.
4. The distance should be approximately 1/16 of an inch.
1/32 FREE PLAY MUST BE BETWEEN YOKE & BEARING
(NOTE: BEARING NOT SHOWN HERE)
FINE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT - Remove hair pin (C).
Turn the castle nut (B) clockwise to tighten one quarter
revolution and check brakes. Repeat as necessary to have
proper braking power. Replace hair pin (C). (See Fig. 13).
PEDAL ADJUSTMENT — To take up the adjustment on
the brake linkage, tighten or loosen the hex nut (A) on
brake linkage. (See Fig. 13).
