Important: Always adjust the Number of Spacers below Caster Hub to correspond to the Axle
Position as shown in table to obtain proper "rake" (blades should always be level to the ground
or tipped slightly down at the front).
Adjusting the Axle Position
Desired cutting height range can be obtained by
adjusting the rear axle and placing caster spacers
above or below the caster arm (See Figure 10 and
Figure 11 along with the Cutting Height Adjustment
Chart). It may be necessary to readjust wheel drive
and brake linkages.
To adjust rear axle:
