Adjusting the Front Wheels
The two front adjustable wheels must be adjusted in the
proper hole location for each time you change deck
height-of-cut position.
1. After selecting height of cut, make sure the front
adjustable wheels are approximately 3/8” (9.5 mm) off
the ground.
2. To adjust wheel height off the ground, remove the
hairpin cotter and pin to change hole location (Fig.
27).
3. Select a hole position so the wheel is approximately
3/8” (9.5 mm) off the ground for the height-of-cut
position to be used (Fig. 27).
4. Insert the pin and secure it with a hairpin cotter.
5. Repeat this adjustment on the other wheel.
