Place bolt on handlebar bracket through one of holes 1, 2, 3 or 4 in order of increasing height (See Figure 11). NOTE: On Professional models nuts and bolts replace pins. For storage, rotate handlebar forward and place pins through holes further up braces. 4.11 SPEED CONTROL BELL CRANK The speed control bell crank holds the speed selector rod in position after a speed has been set. The spring washers may become loose with normal wear. If the speed selector rod does not stay firmly in position, adjust the speed control bell crank. See Figure 12. To adjust: 1. Remove cover, fully compress the helical spring lockwashers with lock nut and then back lock nut off, one half turn. 2. If the speed selector rod is still too loose, tighten lock nut by small increments until it holds its position. Tightening the lock nut too much will not allow the speed selector rod to move at all. 3. Align notch in left hand side of cover with bolt and secure with knob. 4 - 25 4 1 2 3 5 6 4 1 2 3 5 6 1.

Battery Check to be sure there is slack in the friction wheel Figure 13 drive cable, if not readjust cable nuts. Set speed selector at slowest speed and loosen the two cap screws on drive mount. Hold lever securing drive cable down toward mower pan and adjust drive assembly to bring friction wheel to within 1/16" above drive disk. Tighten cap screws. Check for proper function of friction wheel and speed selector. Adjust cable nuts to remove slack. 4 - 26 SECTION 5 - ENGINE SECTION 5 - ENGINE ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING The following troubleshooting chart is to be used to The troubleshooting key is generic and can be used for isolate engine problems and give possible causes and several types of engines.
