How can I adjust my Snapper drive gear plate, model 30086S?

I have a Snapper model 30086S and I need to know how to adjust the drive gear plate. I have purchased a new drive disk and my mower still slips when I go up inclines. I have been told that the drive gear plate can be adjusted. I recently obtained this mower and it was in bad shape. I bought another mower deck to replce the old rusted one and painted it all up. It looks like a new one but when I tried to mow my lawn, it would slip when I tried to cut on inclines. Help!! Thanks, Mike

The drive gear plate can be adjusted by loosening two allen screws on the shaft.
