ADJUSTMENTS
Cutting Height - Three Point (If Equipped)
The rear wheel cutting height adjustment lever is located above the rear left wheel.
See Figure 12A insert.
3. Pull lever out and away from mower.
4. Move lever forward or back for desired cutting height.
5. 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 12B 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 12C 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.
