Adjustments
CONTENT OF SECTION
This section of the manual shows you how to
adjust your mower's cutting height, self-propelling
control, and handle height.
MOWING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Mowing height is controlled by moving the adjust¬
able wheels up or down, enabling the mower to cut
as low as 7/8 inch or as high as 2-7/8 inches.
The front wheels are individually adjusted by
rotating the spring tabs to the desired height. The
rear wheels are both adjusted by moving the adjuster
arm up or down.
Both spring tabs and the rear
adjuster arm should be in the same notch to keep
the mower level (see figure 26).
(Self-Propelled Models Only)
Adjustment of the control rod tumbuckles may be
necessary if one or both of the drive wheels slips
when the control is fully engaged. To adjust the
control rods, proceed as follows:
1. Determine which wheel is slipping.
Loosen
the locknuts on the control rod turnbuckle
on that side (See figure 27).
2. Tighten the turnbuckle two turns at a time,
checking for proper adjustment each time.
The roller should indent the wheel approx¬
imately 3/16 inch when the drive is engaged
fully.
3. When the adjustment is satisfactory, retighten
the locknuts.
HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
The handle ends have two holes in each end. By
placing the handle retaining pins through the for¬
ward holes, the handle height is convenient for
medium to tall operators. Placing the pins through
the rear holes lowers the handle height for short
operators (see figure 28).
