2. Slide the spring co v er up the cable adjuster . ( Figure 22 ).
3. Unhook the Z-fitting from the cable adjuster , and
position it in a different hole on the adjuster to obtain a
g ap of 1/8 to 1/4 inc h (3 to 6 mm) betw een the control
bar brac k et and the handle ( Figure 22 ).
Note: Mo ving the Z-fitting to a hole closer to the
spring decreases the g ap betw een the control bar
brac k et and the handle; mo ving it to a hole far ther from
the spring increases the g ap .
4. Install the spring co v er o v er the cable adjuster .
5. Hook the spring end into the hole in the center of the
control bar brac k et.
6. Chec k the adjustment.
Note: After extended use , the dri v e belt ma y w ear and lose
