17SECTION 2 — ASSEMBLY & SET-UP
Drive Control (If Equipped)
When drive control lever is released and in
disengaged “UP” position, cable should have
very little slack. It should NOT be tight.
NOTE: If excessive slack is present in
drive cable or if unit’s drive is disengaging
intermittently during operation, the cable may
be in need of adjustment.
Check adjustment of drive control leveras
follows:
1. With drive control lever released, push
unit gently forward. It should roll freely.
2. Engage drive control lever and gently
attempt to push the unit forward. The
wheels should not turn. The unit should
not roll freely.
3. If equipped with a shift lever, with drive
control lever released, move shift lever
back and forth between the R2 position
and the F6 position several times. There
should be no resistance in the shift lever.
If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable
is in need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:
1. Shut OFF engine. Refer to the Engine
Operator’s Manual.
2. Loosen lower hex screw (a) on drive
cable bracket. See Figure 4-10.

as described above to verify proper
adjustment has been achieved.
