DRIVE CLUTCH CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

Use the adjustment wheel located on the un- derside of the clutch control housing to tighten the drive belt if mower does not self-propel with the drive clutch control en- gaged, or if drive belt is slipping (unit hesitates while engine maintains the same speed). See Figure 15.

In addition, the adjustment wheel may also be used to determine the position in which the drive clutch control is engaged. If it is more comfortable to have the drive engaged with the lever further away from the handle, tighten the drive belt.

Make certain to retest the unit for neutral as instructed in the operation Section. Move the adjustment wheel in the opposite direction to loosen the drive belt if necessary.

SIX SPEED SHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT

Periodic adjustment of the six speed shift ca- ble may be required due to normal stretch and wear on the cable. Adjustment is needed if all six speeds cannot be obtained.

The adjustable cable bracket is located on the left side of the mower, beside the engine. To adjust, loosen the hex nut which secures the adjustable cable bracket. See Figure 16. Pull backward on the bracket (toward the rear of the mower). Retighten the hex nut. Test the speeds on the mower (engine must be running).

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your mower for carburetor adjustment information.
