HOW TO LEVEL THE MOWER
HOUSING
If the mower housing is level, the blade will cut easier and the lawn
will look better.
A
WARNING:
Before you make an inspection, adjust-
ment, or repair to the unit, disconnect the wire to the
spark plug. Remove the spark plug wire to prevent
the engine from starting by accident.
1.
Make sure the unit is on a hard fiat surface.

3.
Check the air pressure in the tires. If the air pressure is incor-
rect, the mower housing will not cut level. Make sure the tires
are inflated to 14 PSi. (1 BAR).
IMPORTANT: On models equipped with gauge wheels, the
gauge wheels must be removed to correctly
adjust the
level of the mower housing.
Some models have gauge wheels on the mower housing. If
equipped, remove the gauge wheels.
