Lift Height Adjustment - Simplicity 1721303-01 Operator's Manual

Adjustments
Lift Rod Adjustment
In the fully raised position the blade should be 6" off the
ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod should
slightly compress the spring creating downward pressure
on the blade.
NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after
adjusting the downward pressure.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRINGS.
In addition to providing downward pressure,
the springs are an elastic medium that
absorbs shocks caused by bumps and
cracks in ground surfaces. Over-compress-
ing the springs defeats this and may cause
damage to the unit.
