OPERATION DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 6) • Self-propelling is controlled by pulling either drive control lever rearward to the handle. The further toward the handle a lever is pulled, the faster the unit will travel. • To stop forward motion without stopping blade, release a drive control lever. NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to disengage drive wheels. DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 7) Over time, the drive control system may 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.
