DRIVE V-BELT HEIGHT AND INSTALLATION NOTE: Apply the parking brake before installing the drive V-belt. 1. Check clutch center-to-center and offset specification. Adjust as necessary. 2. Clean sheave surface of primary and sec- ondary clutches. 3. Install the drive belt over the primary sheave, noting the direction of the arrows on the belt.
ENGINE OIL Use a combination of the recommended SAE and API oil classifications shown in the chart be- low. CAUTION: D Use only 4-stroke engine oil. D Engine oil also lubricates the starter clutch. In order to prevent clutch slip- page, do not mix any chemical additives with the oil or use oils of a higher grade than “CD”.
NOTE: The engine oil should be between the “F” 3 and “E” 4 level marks on the oil level gauge/dip- stick. 5. If the engine oil is below the “E” level mark, add sufficient oil of the recommended type to raise it to the “F” level mark. CAUTION: D When adding the engine oil, be careful not to fill above the “F”...
