Cutting conditions will determine what setting is needed for the Adjust-A-Grip" and your machine. If the drive belts slip due to high moisture conditions, the tension may need to be increased. On the other hand, if the day is dry and you are cutting on flat terrain the tension may be decreased. To change the settings:

1.Pull back and move the lever up to reduce tension on the drive belt.

2.Pull back and move the lever down to increase tension on the drive belt.
