On BBC models, the control bail also controls the
transmission belt engagement. The adjustment point
is a knob about halfway between the control panel and
transmission. Ideally, the cable should be set so that
the transmission drive will disengage when the bail is
lowered about 1" (25mm). This allows the bail to be
lowered so that the wheels stop driving and the BBC
remains engaged, but the gap isn't so large that the
handle is hard to hold (Fig. 266). This measurement
is not an exact requirement. It can be varied to
accommodate a customer with small hands, etc.

Toro BOS Control
The BOS control is the upper bail on the handle. For the
required 2 step engagement, there is a pivoting stop on
the right hand handle. Rotate it out of the way and then
pull the bail down for blade engagement (Fig. 267).
