HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE CABLE

WARNING: Before you adjust the drive cable, release the engine stop lever and wait for the engine to stop.

If the drive system does not engage and disen- gage correctly, check the handle for correct as- sembly. Make sure that all parts are in good condition, not broken or bent, and that all fas- teners 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 an au- thorized service center.

IMPORTANT: Before you start the engine, operate the engine stop lever several times. Make sure the engine stop cable moves freely.

NOTE: The engine design does not include a throttle control or an engine speed ad- justment. The engine is set at the best speed for cutting grass, bagging grass, and for extended engine life.

1.If the drive system is slipping, turn the cable adjuster one turn in the direction shown in Figure 22. Test the drive system and check for slippage.

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 system does not slip.

4.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 an authorized service center before you oper- ate the mower.
