Lift Rod Adjustment

In the fully raised position the blade should be 6” off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod should slightly compress the spring creating downward pressure on the blade.

NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after adjusting the downward pressure.

IMPORTANT NOTE

DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRINGS. In addition to providing downward pressure, the springs are an elastic medium that absorbs shocks caused by bumps and cracks in ground surfaces. Over-compress- ing the springs defeats this and may cause damage to the unit.
