SECTION 6: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine
and disconnecting spark plug wire.
Each wheel has a height adjustment lever which
provides cutting height adjustment. When the
adjustment lever is moved from one location to another
the height of cut will be changed. Simply depress the
lever towards wheel and move lever assembly to
desired position. See Figure 10.
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.
Figure 10
Handle Height Adjustment
Your mower is shipped with the handle in the higher
height position. To lower the height proceed as follows:
Remove the starter rope from the rope guide.
Disconnect the handle from the handle bracket
assemblies by removing the wing nuts.
See Figure 11.
Position each handle bracket assembly stud into
one of the other holes in the lower handle.
Each end of the lower handle must be placed in
same relative position.
