TO RAISE MOWER
TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT
Raise wheels for low cut and lower wheels
for high cut, adjust cutting height to suit
your requirements. Me di um position is
best for most lawns.
• To change cutting height, pull up on
adjuster lever, move wheel up or down
to suit your re quire ments and release
adjuster lever. Be sure all wheels are in
the same setting.
NOTE:
Adjuster is properly positioned
when lever inserts into hole in plate.
DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the drive control system may
become “loose”, resulting in decreased
speed. There is a turnbuckle on the drive
control housing to increase tension on the
drive cable. Pro ceed as follows:
1. Turn unit off and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug.
2. Rotate turnbuckle on drive control to
increase drive speed.
3. Operate mower to test drive speed.
Readjust as required.
4.
If condition fails to improve after the
above steps (forward speed remains
the same), your drive belt is worn and
should be re placed.
