the mower.

presence control bar down to the handle and pulling

DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the drive control system may become "loose",
resulting in decreased speed. There is a turnbuckle on
the drive control housing to increase tension on the drive
cable. Pro ceed as follows:
1. Turn unit off; disconnect spark plug wire from plug.
2. Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to increase drive
speed (Figure 11).
3. Operate mower to test drive speed. Readjust as
required.
4. If condition fails to improve after the above steps
(forward speed remains the same), your drive belt is
worn and should be re placed.
