Adjustments
6. If adjustment is needed, remove the two
pins (A, figure 38) by removing the
cotter pins. Loosen the jam nuts (C).
7. Turn both turnbuckles the same
number of turns, shortening the bail
arms to raise the front of the mower and
lengthening the bail arms to lower the
front of the mower. (One full turn of the
eyebolt will equal about 1/8 inch.)
8. Replace pins through turnbuckles and
height adjustment arm and recheck
measurements. When the proper
measurement is reached, install new
cotter pins through the pins and tighten
the jam nuts to the turnbuckles.
