OPERATION
DRIVE CONTROL (See Fig. 6)
* Self-propelling is controlled by holding the operator
presence control bar down to the handle and pulling
either drive control lever rearward to the handle. The
further toward the handle a lever is pulled, the faster
the unit will travel.
Forward motion will stop when either the operator pres-
ence control bar or adrive control lever are released. To
stop forward motion without stopping blade, release a
drive control lever only. Hold operator presence control
bar down against handle to continue mowing without
self-propelling.
NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the mower will
not roll backwards, push the mower forward slightly to
disengage drive wheels.

cable. Proceed as follows:
1. Turn unit offand disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug.
2. Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to increase drive
speed.
3. Operate mower to test drive speed. Readjust as re-
quired.
4. If condition fails to improve after the above steps
(forward speed remains the same), your drive belt is
worn and should be replaced.
