REPLACING/REPAIRING/
ADJUSTMENTS
Reinstall the blades following procedure from
Sharpen Mower Blades instructions in CHECKING/
SERVICING in this section. If blades are replaced,
always use Walker original equipment blades to
ensure safety and optimum performance. The
quality and performance of replacement blades
offered by other manufacturers cannot be
guaranteed, they could be dangerous.
ADJUSTMENTS
Steering Levers
An adjustment range of approximately 3 inches is
available on the steering levers - the levers can be
adjusted forward or aft depending on the arm length
of the operator. The levers can be adjusted by loos-
ening the locknut at the pivot point and the locknut
holding the lever in position in the adjustment slide.
Adjust levers into most comfortable position and
tighten both locknuts.
Steering Lever Adjustment
Tilt-Up Deck Adjustable Stop
When the carrier frame hinge joint is properly adjust-
ed, the deck lock levers should move in and out of
the engaged and disengaged positions freely. All
four hitch pins used for height adjustment should sit
flush on the washers above the deck pin bushing.
On a level surface, if any pin is sticking up (likely the
front pins), tighten the opposite side or loosen the ex-
isting side to lower the pin. Adjustments are made by
loosening the jam nut and tightening or loosening the
set screws on the Deck Mount Pivot Brackets. Re-
tighten the jam nut when the adjustment is complete.

sition can be adjusted by bending the mounting
bracket for the Grass-Pak
®
switch.
CAUTION
ALWAYS use genuine factory replacement
parts. Substitute parts CAN result in prod-
uct malfunction and possible injury to the

DANGER
PINCH POINT - SPRING LOADED DOOR
When lowering the door on the GHS
catcher, depress the safety latch on the
side of the catcher. BE VERY CAREFUL to
keep hands, fingers, etc. out of the hing-
ing mechanism and away from the door

hold the door closed during operation are
very powerful, and the door can slam shut
with considerable force.
