SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Belt Care A damaged or worn belt may prevent the mower from selfpropelling. Periodically inspect the belt and pulley system for damage or wear. If necessary contact an authorized Service Center to have belt replaced. NOTE: Several components must be removed in order to change the mower's drive belt. See an authorized Service Center to have belt replaced. Drive Control Adjustment SINGLE LEVER AND DUAL LEVER DRIVE CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED) If equipped, there is an adjustment wheel located in the drive control handle housing that is used to tighten or loosen the drive belt. You will need to adjust the drive control if the mower does not propel itself with the drive control engaged or if the mower's wheels hesitate with the drive control engaged. If either of these conditions occur, rotate adjustment wheel clockwise to tighten cable or counterclockwise to loosen the cable. See Figure 37 for location on Single Lever Drive Control and Figure 38 for Dual Lever Drive Control. Tighten PREMIUM DRIVE (IF EQUIPPED) The drive system consists of pulleys, a belt , and a cable linking the transmission to the drive handle. As these components wear, adjustment may be needed.
