The adjustment wheels are used to loosen or tighten the front wheel drive and the rear wheel drive belts if: • The mower does not self propel in the front wheel drive or rear wheel drive mode (tighten drive belt). • The lever drive control (c) can not be fully squeezed against the upper handle (d) (loosen drive belt). NOTE: Move the unit forward and backward then test the lever again before making any cable adjustment. Use the left side wheel (f) to adjust the rear wheel drive belt. Use the right side wheel (g) to adjust the front wheel drive belt (Figure 26). NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the drive belt control cables (e). Turn the adjustment wheels 1/2 to 1 full turn at a time. Tighten each drive belt just enough to propel the mower when each drive is engaged. BOTTOM VIEW d b c c a e e Loosen Tighten Tighten f Loosen g Figure 26 19

Drive Control Adjustment
DUAL DRIVE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
There are two drive control cable adjustment wheels (a) located
on the bottom of the drive control housing (b).
The adjustment
wheels are used to loosen or tighten the front wheel drive and
the rear wheel drive belts if:
•
The mower does not self propel in the front wheel drive or
rear wheel drive mode (tighten drive belt).
•
The lever drive control (c) can not be fully squeezed against
the upper handle (d) (loosen drive belt).
NOTE:
Move the unit forward and backward then test the
lever again before making any cable adjustment.
Use the left side wheel (f) to adjust the rear wheel drive belt.
Use the right side wheel (g) to adjust the front wheel drive belt
(Figure 26).
NOTE:
DO NOT overtighten the drive belt control cables (e). Turn
the adjustment wheels 1/2 to 1 full turn at a time. Tighten each
drive belt just enough to propel the mower when each drive is
engaged.
