Simplicity Broadmoor 5008 - BELT STOPS

Figure 13
4. With the elastic stop nut adjusted correctly on the clutch
rod depress the foot pedal all the way and adjust the set
collar at the rear of the spring so that the clutch rod spring
is just free to rotate on the rod. (See Figure 14)
Belt Stops:
If the main drive belt will not stop when the clutch is
depressed, the belt stops may need adjusting.
The belt stops on the tractor should be adjusted so there is
one-sixteenth to one-eighth inch between the belt stop and
the belt when the belt is tight (clutch engaged). To adjust a
belt stop, loosen the bolt holding it, move the belt stop to
the proper position and re-tighten the bolt. Check the ad¬
justment after the bolt has been tightened. (See Illustration
