WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION
To remove the transmission from the mower proceed as
follows:
1. Remove both rear wheels.
2. Remove the retaining rings, springs, gears, keys,
clutches, and pivot arms on both sides (“Wheel
Pinion Clutch” on page 5-2).
3. Remove the belt.
4. There is a suspension bracket on each side that
secures the transmission and pivot arms to the
chassis. Each bracket has 2 screws. Once they are
removed, the transmission will drop out.
To install, reverse the above process.
Fill the transmission level with the fi ll plug opening after it
is installed in the chassis. The top of the transmission is
not sealed, so it may leak if fi lled and tipped.

3. To check the adjustment, slowly squeeze the control
bar towards the handle. The cable is adjusted
correctly when resistance is felt when the control bar
is approximately 1” (25mm) from the upper handle
(Fig. 025).

hand side of the control panel ½ turn clockwise to
tighten the belt, or ½ turn counterclockwise to loosen
the belt. Hold the control cable while rotating the
knob to prevent the cable from turning (Fig. 024).
