Assembly section.
Adjusting Cutting Height
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 help stop scalping of the grass.
An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheal position provides cutting height adjustment. Each adjusting plate
has nine height positions. Height of cut will be changed when the thumb lever is moved from one hole to another.
• Simply depress the lever towards the wheel and move the lever assembly to desired position. See Figure 14B.
• For rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment handles to higher cutting height position.
Adjusting Engine Throttle Speed
See page 11 of this manual for instructionson adjusting the engine throttle speed.
Adjusting Carburetor
If the engine is running rough, minor adjustments to the carburetor may be required to compensate for differences
in fuel, temperature, altitude and load. NOTE: A dirty air cleaner may cause an engine to run rough too. So make
sure that the air cleaner is clean and attached to the carburetor before deciding to adjust the carburetor.
To adjust the carburetor, please follow the recommendations and instructions on carburetor adjustment in the
engine manual.
WARNING: If any adjustments are made to the engine (e.g. carburetor) while the engine is running,
keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces like the muffler.
