Securing Brake Cable
WARNING: The cable must be routed properly to avoid contact with all sharp edges and hot surfaces. Such contacts damage the cable and render the controls inoperative.
•Secure the cable to the lower left handle near the base of the unit with a cable tie from group 3 of the hardware pack. Trim off extra length of the cable tie. See Figure 7.

Attaching Wheels
NOTE: The holes provide three cutting heights for your mower. Use the same hole location for all four wheels when assembling. For example, if wheels are to be assembled in the lowest cutting position, use the highest hole on the deck.
