The SATELLITE 480 MkII has axle height adjustment to make it easy to adjust the machine so it doesn’t cause fatigue on
the operator. To set axle height, adjust the axle height leaver to the vertical position, or midpoint. This is a good starting
point. After initial operation the axle can be adjusted. The axle lever must be set as far back (toward operator) as possible
without creating excess force on the operator during operation.
