Mower Adjustments
Gauge Wheels (Select Models)
The mower gauge wheels can be placed in two positions
depending on the height of cut. When using higher
cutting heights, set the wheels in the lower position.
When using lower cutting heights, set the wheels in the
upper position. Do not allow wheels to remain on the
ground constantly while mowing. To adjust:
1. Remove the locknut (B, Figure 38), gauge wheel (C),
washers (D), and shoulder bolt (E). Change position
of gauge wheel to desired height.
2. Insert shoulder bolt (E) through washers (D) gauge
wheel (C), and gauge wheel bracket (A). Secure with
locknut (B). Repeat steps 1 & 2 for all gauge wheels.
