SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT
HOW TO ADJUST
THE DRIVE CABLE
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 performance 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 a Sears service center.
1.
If the drive system is slipping, loosen the jam nut (see
Figure 25).
2.
Turn the cable adjuster
one turn in the direction shown in
the illustration. Test the drive system and check for slippage.
3.
If the drive system still slips, turn the cable adjuster
one
more turn to shorten the cable. Again, test the drive system.
4.
Repeat the adjustment and test until the drive system does
not slip.
5.
Before you begin to mow, make sure the drive system will
correctly disengage and that the mower will stop. If the drive
system will not disengage, take the mower to a Sears ser-
vice center before you operate the mower.
6.
Tighten the jam nut.
