you will not properly
adjust your mower.

behind the mandrel at bottom edge of
mower housing
as shown.
• Before making any necessary
adjust-
ments, check that both front links are
equal in length.
Both links should be
approximately
10-3/8".
• If links are not equal in length, adjust
one link to same length as other link.
• To lower front of mower loosen nut "E"
on both front links an equal number of
turns.

at front than rear, tighten nuts "F"
