Drive Control Adjustment

!
WARNING
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service
with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade.
Disconnect spark plug wire and secure away from spark
plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious
burns, allow sufficient time for all components to cool.
The wheel drive control lever (A, Figure 17) should
engage the transmission when the lever is squeezed
back toward the handlebar, and should disengage the
transmission when the lever is released.
Figure 17: Drive control
If the transmission does not engage or disengage,
adjustment may be performed as follows:
• If the transmission does not engage, increase drive
cable tension by loosening the jam nut (C, Figure
18) and rotating the turnbuckle (A) counter-clock-
wise one-half turn to move the ferrules (B) out from
the turnbuckle. Tighten the jam nut against the
turnbuckle. Check and repeat as needed.
• If the transmission does not disengage, decrease
drive cable tension* by loosening the jam nut and
rotating the turnbuckle one-half turn clockwise to
move the ferrules in toward the turnbuckle. Tighten
the jam nut against the turnbuckle. Check and
repeat as needed.
NOTE: Some models do not feature a jam nut.
