Drive Control Adjustment

WARNING
!
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service
with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade.
Remove starter insert. Disconnect spark plug wire and
secure away from spark plug. Engine and components are
HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all com-
ponents to cool.
If the drive system does not engage and disengage
correctly, check the handle for correct assembly. Make
sure that all parts are in good condition, not broken or
bent, and that all fasteners are tight.
Worn parts and cable stretch will change the perfor-
mance of the drive system. When you mow in high or
thick grass or on hills, the drive system can slip. If the
drive system is slipping, adjust as follows or take the
mower to an authorized dealer.
1. If the drive system is slipping, turn the cable
adjuster (A, Figure 15) one turn in the direction
shown. Test the drive system and check for slip-
page.

2. If the drive system still slips, turn the cable adjuster
one more turn to shorten the cable. Again, test the
drive system.
3. Repeat the adjustment and test until the drive sys-
tem does not slip.
4. Before you begin to mow, make sure the drive sys-
tem will correctly disengage and that the mower
will stop. If the drive system will not disengage,
take the mower to an authorized dealer before you
operate the mower.
