1. 

Pull lever out and away from mower.

2. 

Move lever forward or back for desired cutting height.

3. 

Release lever towards mower deck.

The front wheel cutting height is determined by selecting one 

of six positions on each caster assembly. To adjust front cutting 

height, refer to Figure 3-10B and proceed as follows:
1. 

Remove wing nut from axle bolt. Slide axle bolt and wave 

washer from the assembly and select a cutting height.

2. 

With wave washer on axle bolt, reinsert hardware in the 

square hole desired through wheel assembly and secure 

with wing nut previously removed.

IMPORTANT: 

All wheels must be placed in the same 

relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the 

height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will stop 

scalping of grass.

The casters can be locked in a straight ahead position or 

positioned to swivel freely. See Figure 3-10C insert.
1. 

Lift lock pins.

2. 

Place in larger holes to lock wheels. Place pins in smaller 

holes to allow casters to rotate freely for turning.

Handle Pitch

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

handle as follows:

1. 

Remove star knobs and carriage bolts from handle. See 

Figure 3-11.

Figure 3-11

2. 

Position the handle in one of the three positions that is 

most comfortable. See Figure 3-11 inset.

3. 

Secure into position with star knobs and carriage bolts 

removed earlier.

of the box. 

2.

separate engine owner’s manual.

WARNING: 

Use extreme care when handling
