Mower Adjustments
CAUTION
DO NOT remove the mower deck baffles. The baffles help prevent grass clippings from becoming airborne and plugging up the engine cooling fins.
Gauge Wheel Adjustment
The mower gauge wheels can be placed in two positions depending on the height of cut. When using higher cut- ting heights, set the wheels in the lower position. When using lower cutting heights, set the wheels in the upper position. To adjust:
1.Remove the hair pin clip (A, B, Figure 45).
2.For upper position, install the pin (A) through the spindle above the bracket (C). For the lower position, push down on the top of the spindle, and install the hair pin clip (B) below the top of the bracket (C).
WARNING
Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine. Allow all moving parts to stop. Remove ignition key, then disconnect the spark plug wires and fasten them away from the spark plugs.
