WARNING: Before you make an in- spection, adjustment, or repair to the unit, disconnect the wire to the
spark plug. Remove the spark plug wire to prevent the engine from starting by acci- dent
1.Make sure the unit is on a hard flat surface.
2.Check the air pressure in the tyres. If the air pressure is incorrect, the mower housing will not cut level. Make sure the tyres are inflated to: Front Tyres 0.97 BAR (14 PSI) , Rear Tyres 0.69 BAR (10 PSI) .
3.(Figure 13) Move the lift lever (1) to the lowest cut position (2).
WARNING: The lifter lever (3) is spring loaded. Make sure the lift lever (3) is locked in the lowest cut
position (2).
4.(Figure 14) Loosen the left and right ad- juster knobs (1). Push down on each side of the mower housing. Make sure both sides of the mower housing are setting on a flat sur- face. Also, make sure the lift links are loose and can easily move up or down.
5.Push down on the lift links (2) and tighten the left and right adjuster knobs (1). Make sure the adjuster knobs (1) are tight. If necessary, use a wrench to tighten the ad- juster knobs (1).
6.(Figure 13) Raise the lift lever (1).
7.Mow for a short distance. If the height of cut is not level, repeat the above steps.
Where To Lubricate (Figure 15)
Models with grease fittings:
Lubricate with grease gun. Apply grease with a brush to
the areas shown. Lubricate the areas shown with engine oil.
NOTE: Apply grease to the steering gear as- sembly.
CAUTION: If the unit is operated in dry areas that have sand, use a dry graphite spray to lubricate the unit.
Check The Tyres
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres with too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure is: Front Tyres 0.97 BAR (14 PSI) , Rear Tyres 0.69 BAR (10 PSI) .
