4.
Double Check that the Belt wraps tightly around the Pulleys when Bail Bar is
engaged and that the Brake fully engages the Pulley when the Bail Bar is
released
(
Figure 33
)
. Tighten/loosen the Cable as needed by the following
steps.
5.
Locate the Blade Engage Cable along the left Handlebar. There is an In-Line
Adjuster to change the tension on the Cable (
Figure 37
).
6.
You can tighten the cable by rotating the body of the In-Line Adjuster in the
clockwise direction (looking down on the Cable). If the Cable is too tight,
you can loosen the Cable by twisting the adjuster in the opposite direction.
Note:
The Blade Engage Cable is adjusted properly when the coils of the Spring are
pulled apart slightly when the Bail Bar is pulled fully against the Handlebar.
When the Bail Bar is released, there should be a very slight sag in the Spring
and Cable.
Adjusting the Traction Drive Cable
If the Traction Drive appears to be losing speed, the Traction Drive Cable must
be tightened to restore maximum speed. Avoid over tensioning the Cable
because it may cause the Transmission to engage even if the Drive Lever is fully
released.
If the Mower is difficult to push forward when the Traction Drive Lever is fully
released, the Cable tension will need to be loosened to disengage the
Transmission.
Note:
When properly adjusted, tension on the Traction Drive Lever should increase
when the Lever is about parallel to (almost touching) the Handlebar Grip.
1.
Locate the Traction Drive Cable on the Handlebar (
Figure 38
). There is an
In-Line Adjuster to change the length of the Cable.
2.
Rotate the center portion clockwise while holding the ends stationary to
expand the In-Line Adjuster and remove slack from the cable as needed.
Counterclockwise rotation will add more slack in the Cable.
