SECTION 7: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Always stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and ground it
against the engine before performing
adjustments.
Cutting Height Adjustment
Figure 10
A height adjustment lever at each wheel provides
cutting height adjustment. Each adjuster has nine
height positions. Height of cut will be changed when the
lever is moved from one position to another.
• Depress the lever towards wheel and move the
wheel and lever assembly to desired position. Refer
to Figure 11.
• To raise the height, push the lever towards the front
of the mower on both front wheels, and push the
lever toward the back of the mower on the rear
wheels.
All wheels must be placed in the same relative position.
For rough or uneven lawns, move the wheels to a
position which will give a higher cutting height.
Handle Height Adjustment
Figure 11
Your mower is shipped with the handle in the higher
height position. To lower the handle height, proceed as
follows.
• Remove the starter rope from the rope guide.
• Remove the cable ties that hold the control cable to
the upper and lower handles.
• Remove the upper handle by removing the wing
nuts and carriage bolts. Lay the upper handle out of
the way, being careful not to bend or kink the
cables.
• Remove the hairpin clips from the weld pins on the
handle brackets. Press out on the legs of the lower
handle and remove the lower handle from the
mower.
• Turn the lower handle around so the notch on the
bottom of the lower handle is facing forward as
shown in Figure 11. Reassemble, placing the
bottom holes in the handle over the weld pins in the
handle mounting bracket.
• Reassemble the upper handle to the lower handle.
• Place the hairpin clips in the inner holes in the weld
pins and attach the starter rope as instructed in the
Assembling Your Lawn Mower section.
SECTION 8: MAINTAINING YOUR LAWN MOWER
WARNING: Be sure to disconnect and
ground the spark plug wire before performing
any repairs, lubrication, or maintenance.
NOTE: When tipping the unit, empty the fuel tank, keep
the engine’s spark plug side up. Never tip the mower
more than 90 degrees and do not leave the mower
tipped for a sustained length of time. Oil can drain into
the upper part of the engine causing starting problems.
