NOTE: If the control handle is disassembled from the upper handle for any reason, assemble the control handle by inserting the ends into the holes on each side of the upper handle. The hole in the control handle must be on the left side of the upper handle, and control handle must touch the upper handle when engaged (squeezed against the upper handle).
1.Remove the truss machine screw and hex lock nut from the middle of the control box using a phillips screwdriver. Place your finger over the hex lock nut to hold it inside the control box so you can unscrew the truss machine screw.
2.Make certain the blade control handle is on top of the upper handle.
3.Route the control box (with cable attached) under the lower handle.
4.Holding the control box near the left side of the upper handle (control box must be inside the handle), hook the “Z” end of the brake cable into the control handle from the outside to the inside. See Figure 6 and Figure 7.

5.Place the control box on the upper handle just below (touching) the end of the control handle as shown in Figure 7. Secure with hardware removed in step one by placing hex lock nut into the indent on the inside of the control box. Screw the truss machine screw into the hex lock nut.
SECURING THE CABLE (Hardware D)
Secure the cable to the left side of the handle as follows.
WARNING: When attaching the control cable, the cable must be routed to avoid contact with all sharp edges and hot surfaces to prevent damage to the cable, which will render the controls inoperative.
The three holes provide three cutting heights for your mower. Use the same hole location for all four wheels when assembling. If wheels are to be assembled in the lowest cutting position (highest hole in the deck), refer to the note below.
If your mower has two sets of holes (see Figure 9), the front wheels must be assembled in one of the three holes nearest the front of the deck. The rear wheels must be assembled in one of the three holes nearest the rear of the deck. To assemble the wheels: (See Figure 9).
1.Block up the mower securely.
2.Place axle bolt through wheel. (Hub side of wheel must face deck.)
