Adjusting the Self-propel Drive

If your mower does not self-propel properly, adjust the
self-propel drive cable.

1. Loosen the nut on the cable mount (Figure 42).

2. Pull the upper handle back fully rearward.

Note:

If the handle does not move smoothly, refer

to Lubricating the Upper Handle.

3. Pull the cable jacket downward until you remove the

slack in the exposed cable (Figure 43).

4. Push the cable jacket upward 1/8 inch (3 mm).

Note:

You can place a ruler against the upper side

of the black cable mount and measure how far the
upper end of the cable jacket moves (Figure 44).

Note:

Moving the cable jacket upward decreases

the ground speed; moving the jacket downward
increases the ground speed.

5. Tighten the nut firmly.

6. Start the mower and check the adjustment.

Note:

If the self-propel drive is not properly

adjusted, repeat this procedure.

Replacing the Blade

Service Interval:

Yearly

Important:

You will need a torque wrench to install

the blade properly

. If you do not have a torque

wrench or are uncomfortable performing this
procedure, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If
the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately.
If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened or
replace it.

The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can
result in serious personal injury.

Wear gloves when servicing the blade.

1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.

Refer to Preparing for Maintenance.

2. Tip the mower onto its side, with the air filter up.

3. Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady

(Figure 45).
