hole locations on the chart up to the hole locations on the picture.
To adjust the front height of cut, use the chart above and insert the
number of C-spacers to correspond to the number on the chart to
achieve the height of cut you desire.

Testing Safety Systems
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.
Move the machine to an outside area before running the
engine.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area without
adequate ventilation.
• Connect a pipe extension to the engine exhaust pipe
to direct the exhaust fumes out of the area.
• Allow fresh outside air into the work area to clear the
exhaust fumes out.
The safety systems installed on your machine should be checked
before each machine use. Be sure you have read the machine
operator manual and are completely familiar with the operation of
the machine before performing these safety system checks.
Use the following checkout procedures to check for normal
operation of machine.
If there is a malfunction during one of these procedures, do not
operate machine. See your authorized dealer for service.
Perform these tests in a clear open area. Keep bystanders away.
