Adjusting the Wheel Clutch - SELF-PROPELLED
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION, STOP THE ENGINE, WAIT FIVE
(5) MINUTES TO ALLOW ALL PARTS COOL. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY
FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
If the SELF-PROPELLED DR TRIMMER/MOWER will not drive forward when you squeeze the Wheel Clutch
Lever or if the machine moves forward without the operator squeezing the Wheel Clutch Lever (or the
machine “walks”), you will have to adjust the Wheel Clutch Cable.
If the machine will not drive forward:
Grasp the Lower Section of the Cable Adjuster with one hand and hold firmly. Turn the Upper Section of
the Cable Adjuster clockwise so that the Adjuster is lengthening or turning apart. Make one revolution of
the Adjuster at a time until the drive engages and disengages properly (Figure 39).
If the machine creeps ahead or “walks”:
Grasp the Lower Section of the Cable Adjuster with one hand and hold firmly. Turn the Upper Section of
the Cable Adjuster counterclockwise so that the Adjuster is shortening or turning together. Make one
revolution of the Adjuster at a time until the drive engages and disengages properly (Figure 39).
