5.To disengage the drive mechanism, release both clutch levers. Set the ground speed control lever to the NEUTRAL position.

NOTE: After a normal break-in period of 2 - 4 hours of use, it may be necessary to adjust the drive belt. See DRIVE BELTS in the Service Section for the adjustment procedure,

AFTER EACH USE

1.Before stopping engine, pull the starter rope twice and allow it to rewind slowly, then stop the engine by moving the throttle lever (D, figure 5) all the way down or by pulling out on the ignition key. This will prevent freeze-up.

2.The engine Owner’s Manual contains further informa- tion on preventing engine freeze-up.
