I will certainly do that (and it is indeed under warranty), but putting
it out of service during the lawn's active season is something I hoped
to avoid. Is there perhaps some kind of adjustment to the drive
mechanism that I can try?


Check for some sort of tensioning spring that may have come off or is
binding.

But I wouldn't play with it at all if it's under warranty.

It may not propel itself but you should still be able to push it manually,
and cut your grass.

Bring it in for service and even if it takes a few weeks your lawn is hardly
going to turn into a jungle.
