CASTER WHEEL OPERATION
The front wheels can be "locked" into position or set to
"freewheel" for better maneuverability. Placing the lockbars
in the outer holes of the adjustment brackets "locks" the
front wheels. Likewise, placing the lockbars in the inner
holes of the adjustment brackets allows the front wheels
to spin freely ("freewheel").
•
Lift lockbar until the frontmost end clears the adjust-
ment bracket, then pivot lockbar to desired position.
IMPORTANT: Front wheels must be "locked" into position
when operating on a slope. Mow across the face of slopes:
never up and down.
