LUBRICATION
Refer to Lubrication Chart.
1. Keep unit well lubricated. Lubricate the bolts
holding the height adjustment lever to the deck
with a light oil. See Figure 12.
2. If the wheels are removed for any reason,
lubricate the surface of the axle and the inner
surface of the wheel with light oil. See Figure 12.
3. If you are reassembling the blade and the blade
adapter to the unit, lubricate the motor shaft and
the inner surface of the blade adapter with light
oil (or engine oil). See Figure 12.
Also lubricate the bolt holes, bolts and inner surface
of the nuts in the blade adapter assembly before
reassembly. See Figure 12.
A height adjustment lever at each wheel provides
cutting height adjustment. Each adjuster has nine
height positions. Height of cut will be changed when
the lever is moved from one position to another.
Simply depress the lever towards wheel and move
wheel and lever assembly to desired position. See
Figure 13. All wheels must be placed in the same
relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move
the wheels to a position which will give a higher
cutting height.
