DRIVE CONTROL
. 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 presence control bar or
drive control lever are released. To stop
forward motion without stopping blade,
release the drive control lever only. Hold
operator presence control bar down
against handle to continue 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.
. To keep drive control engaged when
turning corners, push down on the
handle to lift the front wheels off the
ground while turning lawn mower.

become "loose", resulting in decreased
speed.
There is a turnbuckle
on the drive
control housing to increase tension on the
drive cable. Proceed 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 required.
4. If condition fails to improve after the
above steps (forward speed remains the
same), your drive belt is worn and should
be replaced.
