The central splined shaft 10 connects both gearboxes to each other and to the V belt pulley The timing from one gearbox to the other is determined during assembling this central shaft Check carefully the timing as is given in fig 16 Only this one perfect setting is right The main shaft has to be tightened with nuts 9 at each side Bushings 5 and 7 and pulley 6 with tapered washers 13 should fill the space between the gearboxes If new components are used the gearbox with the slotted holes 4 may need to be repositioned in order not to create extra forces If the same components are used people can feel whether the components fit tight Then there is no need for repositioning When the V belts need to be replaced the main shaft 9 can be moved to one side if both nuts 9 and bolts nuts 14 have been taken away Use a thin wall tube 11 and a small hammer to move the splined shaft just across the V belt pulley Next bush 7 can be taken out and the V belts After being replaced push the splined shaft back Check the timing carefully and push shaft through and tighten the self lock nut 24 25 10 17 13 9 Main clutch pedal adjustment The main clutch can be operated by the foot pedal 8 when sitting on the unit or with lever 6 when walking in front of the unit see Fig 17 Don t use the lever 6 for activating the clutch when sitting on the unit Lever 6 can be locked in gap 7 The free play C on the foot ped
