Adjusting Wheel Traction Drive

(self-propelled model only)
If mower does not self-propel or has a tendency to
creep forward when drive is not engaged, an
adjustment to the wheel traction control cable is
necessary.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Turn knob clockwise if mower has tendency to
creep when drive is not engaged. Turn knob
counterclockwise if mower does not propel when
drive is engaged.

Note: Determine left and right sides of
mower by standing in the operator's
position.
Adjustment is correct when:
mower does not creep forward when traction is
disengaged
self-propelled control bar is at a comfortable
operating distance from the handle for operator's
hand when disengaging and engaging the
self-propelled drive
Note: Do not overadjust cable. Cable should
be just tight enough to make wheels
turn when self-propelled control bar is
at a distance from the handle that is
comfortable for operator's hand.
Overadjusting may require excessive
operator effort to engage or disengage
self-propelled drive.
