Each wheel can be adjusted to change the cutting height of the
mower.
2.
Remove the shoulder bolts and washers from the wheels as
shown in Figure 3-9.
Reattach the wheels with shoulder bolts and washers in
one of the four available holes on the deck. Remember to
attach ALL wheels at the same relative position to ensure
an even cut. Refer to instructions for attaching the wheels
in the previous step. For a higher cutting height, use the
lower hole; for a lower cutting height, use the upper hole.

set all four wheels at the same height. For rough or uneven
lawns, move the wheel to a higher position to prevent
