OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MOWER BLADE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Blades are factory adjusted.
Misalignment can occur, often caused by blades
being too loose or too tight. This can cause an
uneven cut or difficulty pushing the mower.
Each end of the cutting bar is adjusted separately.
To move the cutting bar closer to the blades, turn the
adjustment screw clockwise. To move the cutting bar
away from the blades, turn the adjustment screw
counterclockwise.
BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. TO AVOID INJURY, DO NOT TOUCH BLADES WHEN
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
djusting the screws for blade adjustments is a very sensitive procedure. A sixteenth of a turn is considered a
major adjustment. efore tightening one adjustment screw, make sure to loosen the opposite screw an equal
amount.
1. Turn mower upside down.
2. Insert a piece of paper between cutter bar and reel blades and slowly turn wheel by hand.
3. All blades should slice the paper evenly along the entire length of the cutter bar while the reel turns smoothly.
4. If mower has an intermittent cut, adjustment should be made to the appropriate side of blades to attain proper
cutting action.
Do not overtighten adjustment screws, as this could damage cutter bar. Both screws must be tight
on final adjustment.
