DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)
• Self-propelling is controlled by hold ing 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 stop ping engine, re lease
the drive control lever only. Hold op er a tor presence
control bar down against handle to con tin ue 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.
DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 7)
Over time, the drive control system may become “loose”,
resulting in decreased speed. There is a turnbuckle on
the drive control housing to increase tension on the drive
cable. Pro ceed as follows:
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 re placed.
