Drive cable adjustment (variable speed)
To adjust the drive cable:
1. Start the engine.
NOTE: If the mower starts to drive without touching
the drive control lever, the drive cable is too
tight.
2. Squeeze the drive control lever.
NOTE: If the drive speed is too slow, the drive cable
can be tightened.
NOTE: If the drive speed is too fast, the drive cable
can be loosened.
3. To adjust the drive control, turn the thumb wheel in
the control handle. See Figure 3.8.
4. Adjust the cable so that:
• The wheels drive with sufficient force when the
handle is squeezed.
• It takes reasonable effort to squeeze the lever.
• The wheels disengage completely when handle is released.
