Adjusting The Drive Cable - Briggs & Stratton BRUTE 7800583 Manual Para El Operador

Maintenance (Continued)

Adjusting the Drive Cable

WARNING: Before you adjust the drive cable,
release the engine stop lever and wait for the
engine to stop.
If the drive system does not engage and disengage correctly,
check the handle for correct assembly. Make sure that all
parts are in good condition, not broken or bent, and that all
fasteners are tight.
Worn parts and cable stretch will change the performance
of the drive system. When you mow in high or thick grass
or on hills, the drive system can slip. If the drive system
is slipping, adjust as follows or take the mower to an
authorized service center.
IMPORTANT: Before you start the engine, operate the engine
stop lever several times. Make sure the engine stop cable
moves freely.

Note: The engine design does not include a throttle control or an
engine speed adjustment. The engine is set at the best speed for cut-
ting grass, bagging grass, and for extended engine life.
1. If the drive system is slipping, turn the cable adjuster
(A, Figure 24) one turn in the direction shown. Test the
drive system and check for slippage.
2. If the drive system still slips, turn the cable adjuster
one more turn to shorten the cable. Again, test the drive
system.
3. Repeat the adjustment and test until the drive system
does not slip.
4. Before you begin to mow, make sure the drive system
will correctly disengage and that the mower will stop.
If the drive system will not disengage, take the mower
to an authorized service center before you operate the
mower.
