NOTE: For mowers with low wheels, the
cutting height adjustment levers move
in the opposite direction to adjust; for
mowers with high wheels, the levers
move in the same direction.
IMPORTANT: Both the front and rear
wheels must be placed in the same
relative position. For rough or uneven
lawns, move the height adjustment
levers to a higher position. This will stop
scalping of grass.
3. Release lever towards deck. See
Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-12.
Handle Pitch (If Equipped)
If equipped, the pitch of the handle can be
adjusted as follows:
1. Remove wing nuts (a) and carriage

positions that is most comfortable.

3. Secure into position with wing nuts (a)
and carriage bolts (b) removed in Step 1.
Drive Control (If Equipped)
If equipped, there is an adjustment wheel
located in the drive control handle housing
that 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 2-14 for location on Single Lever Drive
Control and Figure 2-15 for Dual Lever Drive
Control.
