Lift Rod Adjustment; Downward Pressure Adjustment - Simplicity 1693754 Operator's Manual

Adjustments

Lift Rod Adjustment

In the fully raised position the blade should be 4"-5" off
the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod
should compress the spring creating downward pressure
on the blade.
LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Fully raise the attachment lift. The attachment should
be approximately 4"-5" off the ground. If not, go to
step 2.
2. Lower the attachment and adjust the front set collar
(A, Figure 6) to achieve the correct lift height.

DOWNWARD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

1. Place the lift in the fully raised position.
2. Slide the spring (C, Figure 6) forward so it is against
the front set collar (A). Slide the rear set collar (D) up
against the back of the spring. Use the rear set collar
to compress the spring slightly, then tighten the set
screw.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRING.
In addition to providing downward pressure,
the spring is an elastic medium that absorbs
shocks caused by bumps and cracks in
ground surfaces. Over-compressing the
spring defeats this and may cause damage
to the unit.
