SITUATION: The mowers listed above are significantly different from last year’s
machines and require a few new steps in the setup process that we
would like to call to your attention.
Cable routing
When assembling the handle to the mower, be sure the cables are
routed to the outside of the lower handle mounts. Once the handle is
mounted, place the cable guard(s) around the cables and attach the
guard(s) to the handle.

SITUATION (Cont.): Adjusting the self-propel
For proper operation and long term transmission life it is important
that the correct adjustment procedure is followed. Under tightening
the cable will result in a lack of drive force. Over tightening the
cable will make the bail hard to pull up to the handle, could lead
to internal transmission damage, and shorten transmission life.
When the machine is boxed, the self-propel cable is adjusted loose
so the belt will not be in tension. Adjusting the self-propel is the final
step in the setup instructions in the Operator’s Manual. For your
convenience we have attached a copy of these instructions.
WARRANTY: Information only. Warranty does not apply.

2014 Toro Heavy Duty WPM –Cable Adjustment
Adjusting the Self-propel Drive
If the machine is new, does not self-propel, or it tends to creep forward, adjust the drive cable.
1. Move the machine outside and onto a paved surface near a solid wall to safely prevent the machine
from moving forward while the engine is running.
2. Position the machine with the front tires against the wall.
Note: Ensure that the area is well ventilated and clear of debris that could be thrown by the
machine.
3. Shift the transmission to third gear (machines with 3-speed transmissions only).
4. Start the engine; refer to Starting the Engine (in the Operators Manual).
5. Pull the self-propel-drive bar to the handle.
Note: The wheels should start to turn as the self-propel-drive bar just touches the handle.
6. Shut off the engine.
7. If you must adjust the machine, do the following:
• If the wheels do not spin when you engage the self-propel-drive bar, the traction belt is too
loose. Rotate the wheel-drive-control knob (Figure 1) clockwise 1 turn and repeat steps 4
through 6.
• If the wheels spin before you fully engage the self-propel-drive bar, the traction belt is too tight.
Rotate the wheel-drive-control knob (Figure 1) counterclockwise 1 turn and repeat steps 4
through 6.
8. For a new traction belt, rotate the drive cable adjustment knob clockwise 1 additional turn to allow
for the normal stretching of the belt during the break-in period.
Note: You can skip this step if you are adjusting a used belt.
