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.

NOTE: As desired, you can raise the low side of mower or lower the high side.

2.Go to side of mower you wish to adjust.

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

4.If adjustment is necessary, see steps 2 and 3 in Visual Adjustment instructions above.

5.Recheck measurements, adjust if nec- essary until both sides are equal.

FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT IMPORTANT: Deck must be level side- to-side.

To obtain the best cutting results, the mower blades should be adjusted so the front tip is 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the rear tip when the mower is in its highest posi- tion.

CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.

Raise mower to highest position.

Position any blade so the tip is pointing straight forward. Measure distance (B) to the ground at front and rear tip of the blade.
