ADJUSTING HEIGHT-OF-CUT (Fig. 2–3)
The height-of-cut is adjustable from 5 to 12.7 inches in 1.3 cm
increments, by adding or removing an equal number of spacers
from the front and rear castor forks. The height-of-cut chart below
gives the combinations of spacers to use for all height-of-cut set-
tings.

Start the engine and raise the cutting unit so the height-of-cut
can be changed. Stop the engine after you raise the cutting
unit.
FRONT CASTOR WHEELS
1.
Remove the lynch pin from the spindle shaft and slide the spin-
dle out of the front castor arm. Remove the washer from the
spindle shaft. Slide spacers onto the spindle shaft to the get
desired height-of-cut, then slide the washer onto the shaft.
2.
Push the castor spindle through the front castor arm. Install the
other thrust washer and the remaining spacers onto the spindle
and install the lynch pin to secure the assembly.
REAR CASTOR WHEELS
1.
Remove the lynch pin from spindle shaft.
Note: You don’t need to remove the rear castor fork assembly
from the castor arm to change height-of-cut.
2.
Remove or add "C" shaped spacers at the narrow portion of the
spindle shaft, below the castor arm, to get the desired height-
of-cut. Make sure thrust washers —not the spacers—contact
the top and bottom of the castor arm.
