Husqvarna Guide to Optional Controls for Lawn Mowers

OPTIONAL CONTROLS

See Figures 1 and 6.

Cutting Height – Swivel Models

CAUTION: On swivel wheel models, when mowing on slopes it is recommended that the linchpin be positioned through the swivel lock hole. If wheels are in the swivel position and control handles are released the mower may “free roll” downhill. Never mow on steep slopes.

To change front wheel cutting height, insert clevis pin into the holes that correspond to the

desired cutting height. (Figure 6).

To change rear wheel cutting height, move cutting height levers one notch at a time until the desired cutting height is obtained. (Figure 6).
