Maintenance Continued

Cable Control Adjustment

To adjust the cables place the machine on flat ground, switch off

the engine and disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

Blade and Drive Control Cables

Adjustments to the tension on the cables are made by adjusting

the barrel length located on the handle. By extending the barrel

out, more tension will be put on the cable. Make sure that you do

not apply too much tension as this will cause premature failure or

cause the lever to engage when it is not wanted.

Note:

Apply lithium

grease to the slots on the drive levers where

the cable sits to avoid premature failure.
