“AUTOWALK” DRIVE CONTROL

•Self-propelling is controlled by holding the operator presence control bar down to the handle and pulling the drive con- trol lever(s) rearward to the handle. The farther toward the handle the lever(s) are pulled, the faster the unit will travel.

•Forward motion will stop when either the operator presence control bar or a drive control lever are released. To stop forward motion without stopping engine, release the drive control lever(s) only. Hold operator presence control bar down against handle to continue mowing without self-propelling.

NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to disengage drive wheels.

FRONT WHEEL DRIVE MODELS ONLY:

•To keep drive control engaged when turning corners, push down on the handle to lift the front wheels off the ground while turning lawn mower.

“AUTOWALK” ADJUSTMENT

Over time, the drive control system may become “loose”, resulting in decreased speed. There is a turnbuckle on the underside of the drive control housing to increase tension on the drive cable. Pro- ceed as follows:

•Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

•Turn nut on underside of drive control to increase drive speed.

•Operate mower to test drive speed. Readjust as required.

•If condition fails to improve after the above steps (forward speed remains the same), your drive belt is worn and should be replaced.
