IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Mower Deck Lifting Lever

The lifting lever is used to place the mower deck in the transport position or one of the 6 different cutting height positions.

The cutting height is set by placing a lever in the notch for the desired cutting height.

The lifting lever can also be used to temporarily adjust the cutting height, such as when passing a minor bump in the lawn.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Always use the high position (F) to transport.

Tracking

If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure is 15 psi. (1 bar) Tracking must be checked on a flat and level concrete or blacktop surface.

If the unit still does not track straight contact your McCulloch workshop for adjustments.
