3.17 Steering Control Arms.
Check that both steering control arms are properly linked, free of
debris, and operating freely. Swing the arms toward the operator
seat, removing them from the neutral lock position. Slowly push
both arms all the way forward, then all the way back. They should
both move smoothly and easily, with no sticking, obstruction, or
uneven tension. They should also slowly return back to neutral
position, which is straight up and down and centered with the
neutral position lock (notch in the frame)
Be sure to return and lock both control arms into neutral position.
The control arms can be adjusted for operator comfort by
repositioning the control arms on the control assembly.
3.18 Mower Deck Height
CAUTION!
î
NEVER attempt to change the cutting deck height
while the engine is running!
Your Lastec Mower has a mower deck height range of 1-1/2" to 5", in 1/4" increments. If you wish
to change the deck height, do so before attempting to operate your Lastec Mower.
The mower deck height adjustment arm has a
lever for adjusting the deck height. The lever
fits into spaces marked off in 1/4â spaces, and
are marked at the 2", 3", and 4" deck height
positions for quick identification.
To adjust the deck height, pull the deck height
control lever out from the height bracket and
move it to the desired height. Replace the lever
into the bracket. This sets the entire cutting
deck to the desired height.
