3.Pull belt through opening under mower pan and over blade.

4.Check idler for free rotation of pulley and movement of pivot.

5.Reinstall drive belt in reverse order. Be sure that belt seats in pulley grooves with idler positioned on back (flat) side of belt.

Figure 17

When the Wheel Drive Control is squeezed toward the handlebar the extension spring, located at the bottom end of the traction cable, must start to extend when the control is between 1-1/2" and 2" (3.8 and 5 cm) away from the handlebar. To check:

1.Squeeze the Wheel Drive Control toward the handlebar until the spring starts to open.

2.Measure the distance between the Wheel Drive Control and handlebar at the handlebar indentation.

3.To obtain the proper adjustment, turn the cable nuts. Turn clockwise if the measurement is more than 2" (5cm); counterclockwise if the measurement is less than 1-1/2" (3.8cm). Tighten the nuts against the bracket to lock in position. If there is not enough thread length for adjustment, the opposite end of the cable can be adjusted.

SPEED CONTROL BELL CRANK

(Self propelled units)

The speed control bell crank holds the speed selector rod in position after a speed has been set. The spring washers may become loose with normal wear. If the speed selector rod does not stay firmly in position, adjust the speed control bell crank. See Figure 18.

To adjust:

1.Remove cover, fully compress the helical spring lock washers with lock nut and then back lock nut off, one quarter turn.

2.If the speed selector rod is still too loose, tighten lock nut by small increments until it holds its position. Tightening the lock nut too much will not allow the speed selector rod to move at all.

3.Align notch in left hand side of cover with bolt and secure with knob.
