The location of the screw to tighten the drive cable on a rear self-propelled mower can vary depending on the specific make and model of the mower. However, in most rear self-propelled mowers, the drive cable adjustment screw is typically located near the handle or control panel area.

To locate the screw, follow these general steps:

Locate the control panel: Look for the control panel on the mower handle. This is where you typically find the levers or controls for the self-propelled feature.
Identify the drive cable: The drive cable is the cable that connects the self-propelled mechanism to the wheels. It is responsible for engaging and disengaging the self-propelled feature.
Look for the adjustment screw: Inspect the control panel and nearby areas for a small screw or nut that can be used to adjust the tension of the drive cable. This screw is often located close to where the drive cable enters the control panel.
Adjust the tension: Using a suitable tool, such as a screwdriver or wrench, tighten or loosen the adjustment screw to achieve the desired tension on the drive cable. If the self-propelled feature is not engaging properly, you may need to tighten the cable by turning the screw clockwise. Conversely, if the self-propelled feature is engaging too forcefully, you may need to loosen the cable by turning the screw counterclockwise.

It's important to consult your mower's user manual or refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific model to ensure accurate information and proper adjustment. The manual will provide detailed guidance on locating and adjusting the drive cable for your particular mower.

If you are unable to locate the adjustment screw or need additional assistance, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer support or consult a professional lawn mower technician for guidance.
