• 

To adjust wheel lever  (Figure 6) use 8mm wrench to loosen bolts, set height, then tighten bolts.  

• To adjust the roller, tilt the mower forward and loosen the knobs on each roller at least two full turns and 
move the roller to the desired position. Both roller knobs must be in the same relative position and firmly 
seated in the notch.  

Each wheel has a lever with five positions.  

To move the lever, tilt the mower back on the roller  

and press the levers (one at a time) towards the outside  

of the mower and move the lever to the desired position.  

Both levers must be in the same relative position 
(Figure 6).
