Rest the mower on its side or place supporting
blocks under one side of the mower.
Refer to Figure 1 and insert the hubcap assembly
through the wheel and thread the complete
assembly into the desired height adjustment
position by hand.
NOTE: It is recommended to use the highest cutting
position initially to avoid scalping of the grass.
By putting fingers into the grooves in the hubcap
assembly, tighten firmly.
Repeat this step for all wheels, being certain that all
four wheels are in the same height position for an
even cut. Refer to Figure 1 for cutting height
positions.
Also, be certain the smaller front wheels and the
larger rear wheels are mounted correctly to the
front and rear of the mower as shown in Figure 1.
