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.
VISUAL
•With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting lower.
NOTE: As desired, you can raise the low side of mower or lower the high side.
•Go to side of mower you wish to adjust.
•With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjust- ment nut (A) to the left to lower the mower, or, to the right to raise the mower.
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower height about 3/16".
•Test your adjustment by mowing some uncut grass and visually checking the appearance. Readjust, if neces- sary, until you are satisfied with the results.
