Basic Cutting Height Adjustments (Figure 3)
The Yardworks 16” Reel Lawn Mower is equipped with an easy height adjust-
ment system on 2 trailing wheels. Adjustment is made by simply pulling out-
wards on the height adjustment lever to clear the locking tab and either raising
or lowering the trailing wheel. Initial setting of the factory gives a height adjust-
ment of 2” to 3” (5 cm to 7.5 cm).
Height Adjuster
To Reduce Cutting Height Below 2” (Figure 4)
• First remove the plastic hub cap by inserting a small
screwdriver into the slot on the hub cap and pop it off the
wheel.
• In order to move the axle pin, it is necessary to remove
the axle nut first by holding the axle pin in place with a
large flat blade screw driver and either a socket or box-
end wrench on the nut.
• After the nut has been removed, pull forward on the
wheel, dust cover and axle assembly until the end of the
axle clears the side of the mower. Move the axle to one
of the other two holes to get the height you desire (see
figure 4). Replace and retighten axle nut (repeat for other
side).
• Essentially, raise the wheel to cut lower or lower the
wheel to cut higher.
• NOTICE: It is not recommended to use position “A” un-
less you have an extremely flat lawn in order to avoid
scalping.

Mower Blade Adjustment (Figure 5)
• Your mower blade comes pre-adjusted by the factory.
Over time, you may need to make slight adjustments
• Misalignment can occur resulting in blades that are too
loose or too tight. If this happens, you will notice a rough,
uneven cut or difficulty pushing the mower
• All adjustments are made from the rear of the mower
Each end of the cutting bar can be adjusted separately.
