OPERATION
Cutting Height
To change front wheel cutting height, insert height
adjustment pin into the holes that match the desired
cutting height and fasten with bow tie locking cotter pin
(Figure 2).
To change rear wheel cutting height, move cutting height
levers one notch at a time to set the desired cutting
height.
NOTE:
Set all wheels to the same cutting height for an
even cut.
Swivel Lockout
Locking the front wheel makes it easier to mow straight
lines (Figure 3).
To Lock:
Turn the lockout pin to release roll pin from the
retainer slot. Push the mower forward until wheel
locks into place.
To Unlock:
Pull back on lockout pin and turn it sideways so roll
pin locks into retainer slot.
Lubrication
Apply grease to the lube fittings every 25 hours of
operation.
Use Stens Mix Hi-Temp Grease or equivalent on the lube
fittings. Order P/N: 00036800 - 3 pack of 3 oz. cartridges.
DANGER:
Avoid injury from rotating blade.
ALWAYS shut off engine before adjusting
cutting height or swivel wheel.
CAUTION:
When mowing on slopes it is
recommended that swivel wheels be locked. If
wheels are unlocked and control handles are
released, the mower may "free roll" downhill.
Never mow on steep slopes.
