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 appear- ance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower is not adjusted properly.

VISUAL SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT

1.With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears unevenly cut, de- termine which side of mower is cutting lower.

2.With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjustment nut (A) to the left to

lower LH side of mower, or, to the right to raise LH side of mower.

NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower height about 3/16".
