Adjustments

Cutting Height
The rear wheel cutting height adjustment lever is located above the rear left wheel.
See Figure 9A insert.
1. Pull lever out and away from mower.
2. Move lever forward or back for desired cutting height.
3. Release lever towards mower deck.
The front wheel cutting height is determined by selecting one of six positions on
each caster assembly. To adjust front cutting height, refer to Figure 9B and proceed
as follows:
1. Remove wing nut from axle bolt. Slide axle bolt from the assembly and
select a cutting height.
2. Reinsert axle bolt in the square hole desired through wheel assembly and
secure with wing nut removed in Step 1.
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same relative position. For
rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment lever to a higher
position. This will stop scalping of grass.
The casters can be locked in a straight ahead position or positioned to swivel freely.
See Figure 9C insert.
1. Lift lock pins.
2. Place in larger holes to lock wheels. Place pins in smaller holes to allow
casters to rotate freely for turning.
Handle Pitch
For convenience of operation, you may adjust the pitch of the handle as follows:
1. Remove wing nuts and carriage bolts from handle. See Figure 10.
2. Position the handle in one of the three positions that is most comfortable.
See Figure 10 inset.
3. Secure into position with wing nuts and carriage bolts removed in Step 1.
Drive Control
The adjustment wheel is located in the drive control handle housing and is used
to tighten or loosen the drive belt. You will need to adjust the drive control if the
mower does not propel itself with the drive control engaged or if the mower's
wheels hesitate with the drive control engaged. If either of these conditions occur,
rotate adjustment wheel clockwise to tighten cable or counterclockwise to loosen
the cable. See Figure 11.
NOTE: For ease of adjustment, the speed control should be in the second or third
speed.
