ADJUSTMENTS
Mower Height Adjustment
All adjustments to the mower height are made by moving
1/4” (6.4 mm) spacers from one side of the mower blade
to the other to raise or lower the mowing height by 1/4”
(6.4 mm). There are a total of six 1/4” (6.4 mm) spacers
included for a single mower blade. There are a total of
five 1/4” (6.4 mm) spacers and one 1/8” (3.2 mm) spacer
for a twin mower blade. All the spacers must be used
either above or below the mower blade(s).
To adjust mower height:
1. Stop engine, remove ignition key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
2. Turn the mower deck over and block the mower
blade so it cannot move.
3. Turn the locknut on the mower shaft
counterclockwise to remove. Retain all hardware
(figure 9).
1. To lower mowing height, add required number of 1/4”
(6.4 mm) spacers above mower blades.
2. To raise mowing height, remove required number of
1/4” (6.4 mm) spacers from above mower blades.
3. Reinstall the lock nut to the mower shaft and tighten
it to a torque of 100 lbf-ft (135 N•m).
Swivel Adjustment
The swivel adjustment allows mower deck to follow
ground during mowing. The swivel is properly adjusted
when mower deck will not swivel when raised by pushing
down on the handlebars, but will follow ground during
mowing.
To adjust swivel:
1. Stop engine, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
DANGER: To avoid inadvertent blade contact,
NEVER attempt to make any cutting height
adjustment while engine is running.
WARNING: A minimum of one 1/4” (6.4 mm)
spacer must always be located between the
mower blades and the locknut.
WARNING: Mower blades are sharp and can
cut. Wrap mower blade(s) or wear gloves to
service.
