IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same relative position.

NOTE: For rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will help stop scalping.

CASTER LOCK

WARNING: When operating mower on hills, front wheels should be locked in the straight ahead posi- tion.

The casters can be locked in a straight ahead position or can be left to swivel freely. Lift and place the lock pins in the larger holes for locked, straight ahead operation, place pins in smaller holes to allow casters to rotate freely.
