How to Adjust the Gauge Wheels
The axle bolts for the gauge wheels were mounted in
the LOW cut position. To change the position of the
gauge wheels, move the axle bolts as follows.
IMPORTANT: Before you adjust the gauge wheels,
you must do the following. Make sure the mower
housing is level. Make sure the height of cut is set at
the height you want for your lawn. Mow a short
distance on a flat level area and look at the area that
was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level, see
the instructions "How To Level The Mower Housing."
WARNING: Before you make an inspection,
adjustment, or repair to the unit, disconnect
the wire to the spark plug. Remove the
spark plug wire to prevent the engine from
starting by accident.
1. Remove the gauge wheels (Figure 30).
2. Mow a short distance on a flat level area to check
the level of cut and the height of cut. Look at the
height of cut position number on the lift lever
(Figure 31).
3. Look at each gauge wheel bracket. There are 3
holes in each bracket and a number next to each
hole. The number for the height of cut position on
the lift lever indicates the correct hole to use on
each gauge wheel bracket (Figure 32).
4. Assemble the axle bolts to the gauge wheel
brackets using the correct hole in the bracket as
indicated (Figure 32).
NOTE: If the height of cut position is changed by the
lift lever, you must move the gauge wheels to the
correct hole (Figure 32) to keep a level height of cut.
