Clutch Adjustment
The
BA-M4 Mini Aerator
is equipped with a belt-tightening clutch.
Squeeze the clutch control bar up towards the handle as far as possible. This causes the idler
pulley to press down and tighten the V-belt. Proper tension is obtained when the belt does not
slip when the tines are placed in the ground. If the V-belt slips under load, release the clutch
cable and turn the threaded cable stud clockwise two or three rotations to shorten the clutch
cable.
Note
: Over-tightening of the V-belt may cause damage to other components including the belt
itself. It may become necessary to back the clutch cable all the way off (see fig. 3) and loosen
the engine mounting bolts and slide the engine back 1/4” and tighten the bolts securely.
