Securing BrakeCable
WARNING: The cable must be routed
properly to avoid contact with all sharp edges
and hot surfaces. Such contacts damage the
cable and render the controls inoperative.
Secure the cable to the lower left handle near the
base of the unit with a cable tie from group 3 of the
hardware pack. Trim off extra length of the cable
tie. See Figure 7.

Attaching Wheels
NOTE:
The holes provide three cutting heights for
your mower. Use the same hole location for all four
wheels when assembling. For example, if wheels are to
be assembled in the lowest cutting position, use the
highest hole on the deck.
