CABLE ADJUSTMENTS

Transaxle Drive Control Cable Adjustment

When the transaxle drive belt slips, the drive control cable needs to be adjusted or the belt needs to be replaced with a new belt.

Cable Adjustment:

2.Using a ½ “ open end wrench, turn the inside adjusting nut counter-clockwise and back it off 1/8", then tighten the outboard adjusting nut against the support bracket (see figure 17-2).

3.Check for proper operation. If the operation is not correct, repeat step 2.

4.Replace the access door.

The drive control cable adjustment should be the minimum amount required so the belt does not slip when the drive is engaged.

Blade Drive Control Cable Adjustment

When the blade drive control lever is depressed, the blades should turn and the blade drive belt should not slip. When the cable is properly adjusted the tension spring on the end of the control cable will open slightly (only enough for a piece of paper to slip between the coils). Cable Adjustment:

1. Remove the belt cover and observe the tension spring on the end of the cable that attaches to the idler when the blade drive lever is depressed. The spring should just break open.

2.If adjustment is required, using a ½” open end wrench, turn the inboard adjustment nut counter-clockwise and back it off 1/8". Then tighten the outboard adjustment nut against the cable support bracket (Item 49).

3.Check the spring tension with the blade drive lever depressed.

4.Readjust the control cable as needed for proper tension.

5. Replace the deck belt cover.

Note: Too much tension will shorten belt and bearing life and too little tension will allow the belt to slip.
