CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The rear wheel cutting height adjustment lever is located above the left rear wheel. To adjust the cutting height, pull
the lever out and away from the mower. Move it forward or back to the desired cutting height. See Figure 4.
The front wheel cutting height is determined by the selection of one of six positions in each caster assembly.
To adjust, remove the wing nut from the axle bolt. Slide the axle bolt and spring washer from the assembly and
select a cutting height. With the spring washer on the axle bolt, reinsert hardware in the square hole desired
through the wheel assembly and secure with the wing nut previously removed. See Figure 4.
IMPORTANT:
All wheels must be placed in the same relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, raise the
cutting height of your mower.
HANDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
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 upper handle by removing the hand knobs 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. Remove 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 7. 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 Set-
Up Instructions.
DRIVE CLUTCH CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The drive clutch control adjustment wheel is located in the drive clutch control handle housing and is used to
tighten or loosen the drive belt. You will have to adjust the drive clutch control if any of the following happens:
• The mower does not propel itself with the drive clutch engaged.
