ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE BRUSH (CASTER WHEEL) The front caster wheel determines the height of the pick-up brush. Interchanging the bushings on the caster wheel spindle will change the height of the brush. Remember to re-insert the lynch pin after adjustments are made. Sweeping Hard Surfaces: Position the caster wheel so that the brush lightly touches the ground.
HOW TO UNLOAD THE LAWNKEEPER Push the locking lever down and lift the hatch until it locks open. Drive the tractor ahead several feet. Close the hatch gently. Lift the grab handle and push down on the locking lever. NOTE: Never let the hatch slam shut. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS Engine Maintenance Check the engine oil before each operation.
