ASSEMBLY
HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE WHEELS WITH AXLE BOLTS
1.To change the height of cut, change the position of the axle bolts on the mower housing. Make sure you assemble each axle bolt in the same hole position so that the mower will cut level.
2.Make sure to mount each wheel with the wheel flange on the inside toward the mower housing as shown. Assemble the wheel to the mower housing with an axle bolt, washer, and flange nut (Figure 8). To tighten, turn the axle bolt. Do not turn the flange nut.
3.If your model has hub caps, push the hub caps onto the wheels .

HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
ENGINE DOES NOT CONTAIN
OIL OR GASOLINE
Fill the engine with the proper amount of oil. See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety, op- eration, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to
use. Always use a safety gasoline contain- er. Do not smoke when adding gasoline to the engine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill with gasoline. Before you add gaso- line, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for several minutes.
NOTE: The operation of a new engine will sometimes result in a slight amount of smoke. This smoke is caused by paint or oil on or around the muffler. This is normal and only expected during initial operation.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and must not be used on or near any unimproved forest- covered,
In the State of California the above is re- quired by law (Section 4442 of the Califor- nia Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. See an Authorized Ser- vice Center for a spark arrester for the muffler.
NOTE: Actual sustained horsepower will likely be lower due to operating limitations and environmental factors.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Before you use the mower, check the assem- bly of the wheels, the handle, and the controls. Make sure all the fasteners are tight. Make sure the the engine stop lever works correctly.
