GROUND DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. 23)
For proper belt tension, the extension spring should
have about 5/8 inch stretch when drive control bar is in
“EN GAGED” position. This tension can be attained as
follows:
Loosen cable clip screw securing the drive control
cable.
Slide cable forward for less tension and rearward for
more tension until about 5/8 inch stretch is obtained
while the drive control bar is engaged.
Tighten cable clip screw securely.
