1. CHECK BELT ADJUSTMENT

New Belts may stretch after the first few hours of operation
resulting in loss of power.

a. With engine running, transmission in neutral, place Vari-

drive Control Lever in "FAST*’ position (Fig. 11) and
check if Secondary Belt (Fig. 16 - Inset) rides flush with
outside of Variator Sheave. (DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON
CLUTCH PEDAL).

b. if Secondary Belt is riding down in groove of Variator

Sheave adjustment is required

2. V-BELT ADJUSTMENT ^
a. With engine running, Transmission in NEUTRAL

position, move Varidrive Control Lever to full FAST

position (Fig. 11). ,,

b. Shut engine off and loosen Adjustment Nut on Bolt A

for Variator Stop Plate (Fig. 16).

c. Start engine and run at Idle Speed

d- Slowly move Varidrive Control Lever (Fig, 11) forward

1/16" outside of Variator Sheave (Fig.. 16 ■ inset).

NOTE: DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON CLUTCH PEDAL

e. Shut engine off holding Varidrive Control Lever in posi

tion as described in step d and tighten Adjustment Nut
on Boit"A" (Fig. 16).

f, Start engine and move Varidrive Control Lever to

"slow" position (Fig. 11). Primary Belt should ride
flush to 1/16" out of Variator Sheave (Fig. 16 - Inset).

g Adjustment is complete when the Secondary Beit rides

in the same position on the Variator Sheave in full

"fast" position, as the Primary Belt does in the

"slow" position,

h. Re-adjust as needed thereafter.

i- if Belt cannot be adjusted as described in step g, replace
