OPERATION

The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown into 
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety 
glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or performing any 
ad just ments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide 
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

•   Reinstall wheel components in the same 

order as they were before removal.  
Tighten securely.

•   Make sure all wheels are at same height.

MODELS WITH “QUICK ADJUST”
WHEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTERS
NOTE:  For shipping purposes, the rear 
wheels on your lawn mower may not be 
adjusted to the same position as the front 
wheels.  Before operating mower adjust all 
wheels to the same cutting height. 
•   Raise wheels for low cut and lower 

wheels for high cut.
