Adjusting the Blade Engage Cable
The Blade Engage Belt will stretch slightly when new, then more over time. If
the Belt appears to be slipping when mowing, adjust the Blade Engage Cable to
tighten it. The Adjuster is located on the Cable itself. If adjusting the Cable
doesn’t stop the Belt from slipping, replace the Blade Engage Belt.
