To Adjust the Control Lever Height
Remove the mounting hardware and position the control lever
either up or down from its original position. You will need to
adjust the control lever alignment as described above.
Speed Balancing Adjustment
If the unit drifts to the right or left when the ground speed
control levers are in the maximum forward position, the top
speed of each of these control levers can be balanced by
turning the adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 40). Only adjust the
speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.

To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the securing nut (B).
2. Turn the top speed adjustment bolt counter-clockwise to
reduce the speed.
3. Tighten the securing nut when adjustment is complete.
WARNING
Unsafe Operation Hazard.
DO NOT adjust the unit for a faster overall speed forward or
reverse than it was designed for.
Checking Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the Specifications chart. Note that
these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown
provide proper traction and extend tire life.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 41) controls
the mower's cutting height. The cutting height is adjustable
between 1-1/2" (3,8 cm) and 5” (12,7 cm) in 1/4” (0,6 cm)
increments.
Note:Make sure that the pin is inserted into the holes in both
upper and lower plates of the pin box (B).

To set the cutting height at 1-1/2” (3,8 cm):
1. While sitting in the operator’s seat, press the deck lift
foot pedal (C) forward until it locks into the 5" (12,7 cm)
position.
2. Remove the cutting height adjustment pin from the hole
that it is installed in.
3. Press the deck lift foot pedal forward and then push the
lock lever (D) towards the right to release the lock.
