Drive Clutch Control Adjustment (Models 820

Thru 829)

Use the adjustment wheel located on the underside of the clutch control housing to tighten the drive belt, if mower does not self-propel with the drive clutch control engaged, or if drive belt is slipping (unit hesitates while engine maintains the same speed). See Figure 10.

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.

NOTE: For some people the drive clutch control may not be in a comfortable position. You can adjust the handle out by tightening the adjustment wheel.
