3-1. MINOR CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUST-
MENTS
1.
These units can be adjusted to offer a cutting height
range from 2/3” to 1-1/3” simply by adjusting the roller
assembly.
2.
As you follow the instructions below, refer to   fig. 3-1
for more information.
3.
To achieve the lowest cutting position, loosen and
remove the nuts on both sides of the roller assembly.
Position the bolt through the bottom  hole of the plas-
tic roller bracket and top hole of the mower side plate.
4.
To achieve the highest cutting position, loosen and
remove the nuts on both sides of the roller assembly.
Position the bolt through the top hole of the plastic
roller bracket and bottom hole of the mower side plate.
5.
Other cutting heights can be obtained by positioning
the bolts through other hole locations.
3-2. MOWER BLADE ADJUSTMENT 
1.
The blades have been preadjusted before leaving the
factory.
2.
Misalignment can occur resulting in blades that are too
loose or too tight. If this happens, you will notice a
rough, uneven cut or the mower will become hard to
push.
3.
All adjustments are made from the rear of the mower
(opposite from the bar with the logo decal). Each end
of the cutting bar can be adjusted separately.
4.
As you follow the instructions below, refer to Fig.3-2 for
more information.
5.
The cutting bar blade (located under the reel) pivots.
The front screws move the cutter bar away from the
blades, while the rear screws move the cutter bar
toward the blades.
6.
Adjusting the screws is a very sensitive procedure. 1-
16th of a turn is considered a major adjustment.
7.
Before tightening one adjusting screw, be sure to
loosen the opposing screw an equal amount.
