TO INSTALL MOWER

Follow procedure described in “INSTALL MOWER AND DRIVE BELT” in the Assembly section of this manual.

TO LEVEL MOWER

Make sure tires are properly inflated to the PSI shown on tires. If tires are over or under inflated, it may affect the appearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower is not adjusted properly.

VISUAL SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 28)

•With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting lower.

NOTE: As desired, you can raise the low side of mower or lower the high side.
