CONTENT OF SECTION
Procedures necessary to complete the assembly of
the mower are provided in this section.
ASSEMBLY OF HANDLE AND CONTROLS
The mower handle and controls (self-propelled
models) are removed from the mower for shipping.
To assemble the mower handle and controls, pro¬
ceed as follows:
The mower handle is attached to the mower by
means of two pins and spring clips. There are two
holes in each tip of the mower handle. By placing
the pins in the lower set of holes, the mower
handle is suited to short operators. Placing the pins
in the upper set of holes makes the handle height
suitable for medium to tall operators. Choose the
set of holes which will be appropriate for your
needs.
1. Tighten the wing nuts on the handle in its
unfolded position.
2. Remove the spring clips from the pins in the
rear wheel brackets, as shown in figure 1.
3. I nstall the handle on the pins, with the handle
locks positioned over the top of the wheel
brackets. (See figure 1).
4. R eplace the spring clips through the pins to
attach the handle to the rear wheel brackets.
On self-propelled models, the drive engaging rods
must be attached to the driveshaft bellcranks. To
assemble the engaging rods, proceed as follows.
1. Unscrew the turn buckles on the lower en¬
gaging rods so that the lower rod is free from
the upper rod.
2. Slip the hooks in the lower engaging rods
through the slots in the driveshaft bell-
cranks as shown in Figure 1.
3. Attach the rod spring to the loops in the
upper engaging rods as shown in figure 2.
4. Reassemble the engaging rod tumbuckles,
tightening them so that the driver wheels are
approximately 1/4 inch from each rear wheel.
(See figure 4).
5. Tighten the locknuts on each end of the
tumbuckles to prevent them from loosening.
On electric start models, the wiring harness must
be connected to the handle and ignition switch.
To connect the wiring harness, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the wiring harness to the lower and
upper handles as shown in figure 3 with the
cable clamps provided.
2. Slip the harness through the cable clip on
the mower housing (figure 4).
