wait for the engine to stop.
If the drive system does not engage and disengage
correctly, check the handle for correct assembly. Make
sure that all parts are in good condition, not broken or
bent, and that all fasteners are tight.
Worn parts and cable stretch will change the perfor-

set at the best speed for cutting grass, bagging grass,
and for extended engine life.
1. If the drive system is slipping, loosen the jam nut
(B, Figure 17) on the adjustment turnbuckle (A),
and rotate the ferrule (C) one-half turn in the direc-
tion shown. Test the drive system and check for
slippage.
2. If the drive system still slips, adjust again. Again,
test the drive system.
3. Repeat the adjustment and test until the drive sys-
tem does not slip.

tem will correctly disengage and that the mower
