Wheel assembly and height of cut
adjustment (Fig. C)
Before wheel assembly adjustment ensure
your mower is disconnected from the mains.
Each of the four wheels has its own means
of height adjustment which gives 3 cutting
height positions.
•
C1
Select one of the tapped holes in the
mounting plate (9) and note it as the
other three wheels will have to be
adjusted to the same position.
•
Locate the wheel (10), and the screw bolt
(11) into the selected hole and ensure the
washer (12) is present on the bolt
between wheel and cutter deck.
•
Position nut (21) behind chosen hole in
the mounting plate.
ENGLISH
•
C2
Use the spanner provided and turn the
screw bolt in a clockwise direction.
Ensure the wheel is free to rotate.
Using the same height adjustment position
repeat the procedure for each of the other
three wheels.
The bottom tapped hole in the mounting
plate will give a maximum height of cut which
is suitable for coarse or overgrown grass.
The top hole should be used for maintaining
cultivated lawns, and the middle hole is for
intermediate conditions.
We recommend that the middle hole or
bottom hole is selected for the first use of
your lawnmower.
