operating position. Disconnect the spark plug
wire(s) from the spark plug(s).
3. Adjust the tire pressure in all tires to
specifications on page .
4. Check that the blades and spindle shafts are
not bent. Refer to Checking for Bent Blades.
5. Set the height-of-cut to the 4 inch (101.6 mm)
position. Refer to Adjusting the Height-Of-Cut
in Operation, page 23.

plus or minus a 1/4 inch (6 mm).
5. If the height at location A is not correct,
adjustment is needed.
6. Loosen the carrier frame mounting bolts on
