SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

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 appearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower is not adjusted properly.

With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjust- ment nut (A) to the left to lower LH side of mower, or, to the right to raise LH side of mower.
