Disconnect the spark
plug wire and ground
it against the engine
before performing
any repairs or

Cable Adjustment
From time to time you may need to adjust the tension on
the forward and reverse tine engagement cables.
1. Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire against
the engine.
2. Adjust either the forward or reverse clutch cable by
loosening the hex nut. See Figure 5–8.
3. Turn the cable collar section one or two turns to add or
lesson tension on the cable. See Figure 5–9.
4. Retighten the lock nut against the cable collar.
See Figure 5–10.
5. With the forward and reverse tine engagement
handles in neutral (released) positions, pull the starter
rope several times. The tines should not turn. If they
turn forward, adjust the forward tine engagement
cable to release tension using the previous steps in
this section. If the tines turn toward rear, adjust the
reverse tine engagement cable to lesson the tension
as with previous steps. Check again for correct
tension on cables.
