your mower.

mower to ground. Distance "A"on both sides of mower should be the same or within 1/4" of each other.

•If adjustment is necessary, make adjustment on one side of mower only.

•To raise one side of mower, tighten rift link adjustment nut on that side.

•To lower one side of mower, loosen lift

link adjustment nut on that side. NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut

will change mower height about 1/8".
