MINOR CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
(FIG. 3)
1.
These units can be adjusted to offer a cutting
height range from 1/2" to 1-3/4" simply by
adjusting the roller assembly.
2.
As you follow the instructions below, refer to
fig. 3 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 plastic 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 posi-
tioning the bolts through other hole locations.

MOWER BLADE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 4)
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 hard-pushing
mower.
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 adjust-
ed separately.
4.
As you follow the instructions below, refer to
Fig.4 for more information.
5.
The cutting bar blade (located under the reel)
pivots. The front screws move the cutter bat
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 and equal amount.

The cutter bar blade must be moved further from
the cutting reel.
Loosen both back screws equally by turning them
counter-clockwise.
TIghten both front screws equally by turning
them clockwise.
The cutter bar must be moved closer to the
cutting reel.
Loosen both front screws equally by turning
them counter-clockwise.
Tighten both back screws equally by turning
them clockwise.
Turn mower upside down.
Insert a piece of paper (i.e., writing or newspaper
between the cutter bar and the reel blades, and
carefully turn the reel blades by hand.
All blades should slice the paper evenly the entire
length of the cutter bar while the reel turns
smoothly.
If the mower has an intermittent cut, adjustment
should be made to the appropriate side of the
blades to attain proper cutting action.
Minimum care is required to assure smooth oper-
ation of your mower.
To avoid damage to the mower or cutting
blades,keep the area to be mowed free from any
debris.
We suggest a routine application of oil or lubri-
cant (i.e., WD-40). This should be applied to all
cutting surfaces, the cutting reel axle shaft and
wheels.
When the mower is properly lubricated and
adjusted, sharpening should not be necessary for
several years.
However, the following steps will allow you to do
the procedure yourself at relatively little expense.
Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on the
front edge of the reel blades.
Adjust the cutter bar so that the cutter bar blade
has light but firm contact with the reel blades
across the full width of the cutter bar.
WARNING: Do not overtighten the
adjusting screws, as this could damage the
cutter bar. Both screws must be tight on
the final adjustment.
Turning the reel blades backward, until the reel
blades rotate retativety free and the front edge
of the cutter bar blade is polished.
Remove wheels; reverse pinions and pawls so
that the beveled edge of the pawl is on the right.
