CASTER WHEEL OPERATION
The front wheels can be "locked" into
position or set to "freewheel" for better
maneuverability. Placing the Iockbars in
the outer holes of the adjustment brackets
"locks" the front wheels. Likewise, placing
the Iockbars in the inner holes of the ad-
justment brackets allows the front wheels
to spin freely ("freewheel").
• Lift Iockbar until the frontmost end
clears the adjustment bracket, then pivot
Iockbar to desired position.
IMPORTANT: Front wheels must be
"locked" into position when operating on
a slope. Mow across the face of slopes:
never up and down.
