Place the hairpin clips in the inner holes of the weld 
pins and replace the carriage bolts and wing nuts 
on the handle brackets. Attach the starter rope as 
instructed in the Assembly section.

 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 
help stop scalping of the grass.

An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel 
provides cutting height adjustment. Each adjusting 
plate has nine height positions. Height of cut will be 
changed when you move the thumb lever from one 
position to another.

Simply depress the lever towards the wheel and 
move the lever assembly to desired position. See 
Figure 15 . 

•

For rough or uneven lawns, move the height 
adjustment handles to higher cutting height 
position.

If the engine is running rough, minor adjustments to the 
carburetor may be required to compensate for 
differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load. 

NOTE:  Dirty air cleaner may cause an engine to run
rough.Before adjusting carburetor, check air cleaner. 

To adjust the carburetor, please follow the 
recommendations and instructions on carburetor 
adjustment in the engine manual.

guide; loosen the two hand knobs on the sides of 
the handle, and let the upper handle fold down to 
the rear. Move the hairpin clips to the outer hole in 
the weld pins on the handle mounting brackets.

If any adjustments are made to 

the engine (e.g. carburetor) while the engine is 
running, keep clear of all moving parts. Be 
careful of heated surfaces like the muffler.
