Adjustments

Cutting Height

There is a cutting height adjustment lever located above the 

front and rear right wheel.

1. 

Pull the height adjustment lever towards wheel (unit will 

tend to fall when lever is moved outward).

2. 

Move lever to desired position for a change in cutting 

height. See Figure 3-10 and Figure 3-11.

NOTE: 

For mowers with low wheels, the height adjustment 

levers move in the opposite direction to adjust; for those 

with high wheels, the levers move in the same direction.

3. 

Release lever towards deck.

IMPORTANT: 

Both the front and rear wheels must be 

placed in the same relative position. For rough or uneven 

lawns, move the height adjustment levers to a higher 

position. This will stop scalping of grass.

Handle Pitch

For convenience of operation, you may adjust the pitch of the 

handle as follows:

1. 

Remove wing nuts and carriage bolts from handle. See 

Figure 3-12.

Figure 3-12

2. 

Position the handle in one of the three positions that is 

most comfortable. See Figure 3-12 inset.

3. 

Secure into position with wing nuts and carriage bolts 

removed earlier.

Set-Up

Gas and Oil Fill-Up

Refer to the separate engine owner’s manual for additional 

engine information.

1. 

Add oil provided before starting unit for the first time out 

of the box. 

2. 

Service the engine with gasoline as instructed in the 

separate engine owner’s manual.

WARNING: 

Use extreme care when handling 

gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the 

vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine 

indoors or while the engine is hot or running. 

Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other 

sources of ignition.
