HOW TO ADJUST THE GAUGE WHEELS

The axle bolts for the gauge wheels were mounted in the LOW cut position. To change the position of the gauge wheels, move the axle bolts as follows.

IMPORTANT: Before you adjust the gauge wheels, you must do the following. Make sure the mower housing is level. Make sure the height of cut is set at the height you want for your lawn. Mow a short distance on a flat level area and look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level, see the instructions “How To Level The Mower Housing.”

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.Remove the gauge wheels (Figure 27).

2.Mow a short distance on a flat level area to check the level of cut and the height of cut. Look at the height of cut position number on the lift lever (Figure 28).

3.Look at each gauge wheel bracket. There are 3 holes in each bracket and a number next to each hole. The number for the height of cut position on the lift lever indicates the correct hole to use on each gauge wheel bracket (Figure 29).

4.Assemble the axle bolts to the gauge wheel brackets using the correct hole in the bracket as indicated (Figure 29).

NOTE: If the height of cut position is changed by the lift lever, you must move the gauge wheels to the correct hole (Figure 29) to keep a level height of cut.
