The drive clutch control adjustment wheel is located in
the drive clutch control handle housing and is used to
tighten or loosen the drive belt. You will have to adjust
the drive clutch control if any of the following happens:
1. The mower does not propel itself with the drive
clutch engaged.
2. The mower's drive wheels hesitate with the drive
clutch engaged.

To resolve the above problems, rotate the
adjustment wheel with your fingers: clockwise to
tighten the cable and counter-clockwise to loosen
the cable. See Figure 18.

NOTE: For some operators, the drive clutch handle
may not be in a comfortable position. If so, you can
adjust the handle by tightening the adjustment wheel.
