refer to Adjusting the Traction Interlock Switch,
page 26.

Adjusting the Steering Chain
Since the chain and sprocket are subjected to sand thrown
up by the front tire, inspect them frequently for wear. If
either the chain or sprocket is worn beyond acceptable
limits, both should be replaced.
1. Place the front wheel in the straight ahead position.
2. Adjust the locknuts until the chain is snug on both sides
of the sprocket (Fig. 25).
3. Turn the steering wheel full left and full right to be sure
that the chain does not bind or hang up in either
direction. Adjust as required.

An inline filter is incorporated into the fuel line. Change
the filter every 800 hours. Use the following procedures
when replacement becomes necessary:

side of the machine and remove the panel.
2. Close fuel shut off valve, loosen the hose clamp on the
carburetor side of filter and remove the fuel line from
the filter (Fig. 26).
3. Place a drain pan under filter, loosen the remaining hose
clamp and remove filter.
4. Install the new filter with arrow on the filter body
pointing away from the fuel tank (toward carburetor).
