Adjusting Drive Clutch Control
•
The drive clutch adjustment wheel is located on the
drive control lever housing and is used to tighten or
loosen tension on the drive cable. Perform this
adjustment if the following exists.
a. The mower does not propel itself with the
drive control lever engaged.
b. The mower’s drive wheels hesitate with the
drive control lever engaged.
•
To resolve the above problems, rotate the
adjustment wheel with your fingers: clockwise to
tighten the cable, and counter-clockwise to loosen
the cable. See Figure 19.

Adjusting Handle Height
Your mower is shipped with the handle in the higher
height position. To lower height, proceed as follows.
•
Remove the starter rope from the rope guide.
•
Remove the upper handle by removing the hand
knobs and carriage bolts. Lay the upper handle out
of the way, being careful not to bend or kink the
cables.
•
Remove the hairpin clips from the weld pins on the
handle brackets. Refer to Figure 4. Press out on the
legs of the lower handle. Remove lower handle
from the mower.
•
Turn the lower handle around so the notch on the
bottom of the lower handle is facing forward as
shown in Figure 20. Reassemble, placing the
bottom holes in the handle over the weld pins in the
handle mounting bracket.
•
Reassemble the upper handle to the lower handle.
•
Insert hairpin clips in the inner holes of the weld
pins and attach the starter rope as instructed in the
