Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.3 STOPPING
Stop engine and blade by releasing the blade
control.
WARNING
Stop engine and mower blade by releasing the blade
control before adjusting cutting height.
2.4 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Positioning the axles in the lowest of the four
adjustment positions in the wheel brackets raises
the cutting deck to the highest cutting height which
is 2-1/2 inches. The top position provides the lowest
cut of 1/2 inch. See Figure 2.4.
WARNING
STOP engine and blade BEFORE attempting any
adjustments, maintenance, service or repairs.
Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and
secure spark plug wire away from spark plug.
Never attempt to adjust the cutting height while the
engine is running.
2.5 ADJUSTING FRONT & REAR AXLES
1. Reposition the front axle by raising the front
wheels off the ground, then pull in on one of the
spring loaded bushings until it clears the bracket.
Move to the desired height of cut position (four
positions are provided) and release the bushing.
Repeat the same procedure on opposite end of axle.
See Figure 2.4.

2. Reposition the rear axle by raising the rear
wheels off the ground, then pull in on one of the
spring loaded bushings until it clears the bracket.
Move to the desired height of cut position (four
positions are provided) and release the bushing.
Repeat the same procedure on opposite end of axle.
NOTE: Position rear axle bushings in the same
corresponding position as the front axle to keep
deck level. Refer to Figure 2.4.
WARNING
Before attempting any adjustments to the cutting
height or front baffle, STOP the engine, remove the
spark plug wire from the spark plug and secure wire
away from plug. DO NOT make any adjustments with
engine or blade running. Be extremely careful when
performing adjustments around engine. Engine is
extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Wear
heavy leather gloves when handling or working
around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp
and can cause severe injury.
2.6 RECYCLING OPERATION
NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum of
1” from grass and recycle ONLY when grass is dry.
1. Set all wheels in the highest cutting position.
2. Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit)
position.
3. Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense,
lower each rear wheel bushing one notch lower than
the front wheel bushings to improve recycling
performance.
