4. Separate the upper and lower bracket covers. 

Thoroughly clean the inside of the bracket 
covers and inner bracket.

5. Slide the roller pin back and forth to confirm the 

pin and cable move smoothly. If the cable binds, 
replace it.

6. Have an assistant rotate the transmission up in 

the direction that tensions the drive belt. The 
transmission should rotate clockwise, when 
viewed from the left-hand side of the mower. The 
assistant should hold the transmission in place 
while you perform the next step.

7. Apply grease to the inside of the bracket covers 

and reinstall. Be sure to align the roller pin with 
the bracket cover grooves.

8. Grease both sides of the clutch grip guides. 

9. Insert the multi-position adjuster and spring in 

the track of the lower clutch grip.

10. Place the assembly over the inner bracket cover.

11. Place the upper grip over the cover assembly 

and secure to the lower clutch grip with the four 
4 mm self-tapping screws. Rotate the Smart 
Drive grip and confirm that it rotates smoothly 
and the cable moves at the transmission.

12. Go to the Smart Drive Cable Adjustment
