OPERATION

DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)

Self-propelling is controlled by holding the operator presence control bar down to the handle and pulling the drive control lever rearward to the handle. The farther toward the handle the lever is pulled, the faster the unit will travel.

Forward motion will stop when either the operator pres- ence control bar or drive control lever are released. To stop forward motion without stopping engine, release the drive control lever only. Hold operator presence control bar down against handle to continue mowing without self-propelling.

NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to disengage drive wheels.

1.Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

2.Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to increase drive speed.

3.Operate mower to test drive speed. Readjust as re- quired.

4.If condition fails to improve after the above steps (forward speed remains the same), your drive belt is worn and should be replaced.
