Drive Control
The adjustment wheel is located in the drive control
handle housing and is used to tighten or loosen the
drive belt. You will need to adjust the drive control if
the mower does not propel itself with the drive control
engaged or if the mower’s wheels hesitate with the drive
control engaged. If either of these conditions occur, rotate
the adjustment wheel clockwise to tighten the cable or
counterclockwise to loosen the cable, Figure 3-7.
