Mower Adjustments
Gauge Wheel Adjustment
The mower gauge wheels can be placed in two positions
depending on the height of cut. When using higher cut-
ting heights, set the wheels in the lower position. When
using lower cutting heights, set the wheels in the upper
position. To adjust:
1. Remove the hair pin clip (A, B, Figure 45).
2. For upper position, install the pin (A) through the
spindle above the bracket (C). For the lower position,
push down on the top of the spindle, and install the
hair pin clip (B) below the top of the bracket (C).
