b. Use Photo 3-7 to determine which hole in
the swivel plate you should insert the lower
end of the Forward Clutch Rod into. For exam-
ple, if you have the handlebar height setting at
position number 1 (on the curved handlebar
height adjustment bracket) insert the lower
end of the Forward Clutch rod into hole num-
ber 1 on the swivel plate.

C. Insert the lower end of the Forward Clutch
Rod into the proper hole in the swivel plate.
Secure it in place by reinstalling the hairpin
cotter in the inner hole in the Forward Clutch
Rod.
d. To make sure that you have selected the
correct hole in the swivel plate:
(1). Stand on the right-hand side of the tiller.
Pull the Forward Clutch Lever up and hold it
in place.
(2). Check the gap between the E-Ring and
the lower end of the bracket on the Forward
Clutch Lever. The gap should be 3/16" to
5/16". If you do not have a ruler handy, five
pennies
are
approximately
5/16"
thick.
Refer to Photo 3-8.
e. If you are unable to get the 3/16" to 5/16"
gap, you'll have to readjust the Forward Clutch
Rod as follows:
(1). Refer to Photo 3-7 and make sure that
you have the Forward Clutch Rod in the

Clutch Bracket and the E-Ring.
(2). Insert the lower end of the Forward
Clutch Rod into this hole.
(3). Pull the Forward Clutch Lever up and
hold it in place.
(4). Check the gap between the E-Ring and

If the gap is greater than 5/16", you'll have
to release the Forward Clutch Lever, re-
move the hairpin cotter from the inner hole
in the lower end of the Forward Clutch Rod,
move the Forward Clutch Rod away from
the swivel plate, and turn the rod counter-
clockwise (as viewed from the front of the
tiller) to decrease the gap.
If the gap is less than 3/16", you'll have to
release the Forward Clutch Lever, remove
the hairpin cotter from the inner hole in the
lower end of the Forward Clutch Rod, move
the Forward Clutch Rod away from the
swivel plate, and turn the rod clockwise (as
viewed from the front of the tiller) to in-
crease the gap.
f. After getting the correct gap, make sure that
you reinstall the hairpin cotter in the inner hole
in the lower end of the Forward Clutch Rod.
