HANDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(230 series mowers only)
Your mower is shipped with the handle in the higher height position. To lower the handle 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. Press outward on the legs of the lower
handle, and remove it from the mower.

• Turn the lower handle around so the notches on the bottom of the lower handle are facing forward as shown in
Figure 10.
• Reassemble, placing the bottom holes in the handle over the weld pins in the handle mounting bracket.
• Reassemble the upper handle.
• Place the hairpin clips in the inner holes in the weld pins and attach the starter rope as instructed in the Set-Up
Instructions.
DRIVE CLUTCH CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drive clutch control if:
• The mower self-propels with the drive clutch control disengaged.
• The mower does not self-propel with the drive clutch control engaged.
• The drive belt is slipping (unit hesitates while engine maintains the same speed).
A. Style 1 Controls:
• Use the adjustment wheel located in the clutch control housing to tighten or loosen the drive belt. See Figure
11A.
• You can use the adjustment wheel to also determine the position in which the drive clutch control is engaged. If
it is more comfortable to have the drive engaged with the lever further away from the handle, tighten the drive
belt.
