Tracking Bolts
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the
air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air
pressure is 15 psi (103 kPa / 1 bar) for all tires.
Tracking must be checked on a flat and level concrete
or blacktop surface.
Rotating the tracking bolts allows fine tuning
adjustments so the machine tracks straight with the
steering control levers in the full forward position.
Rotate the knob bolt (as viewed from the operation
position) to increase the speed on the left lever. Rotate
counterclockwise to decrease speed.
Cutting Height Adjuster
To set the deck cutting height, press the button and
move the lever forward to the correct cutting height on
the cutting plate. The cutting height range is from 1½"
(38mm) to 4"
(102mm) in ½ (13mm) increments. The
heights are measured from the ground up to the blade
tip with the engine not running.

Bypass Linkages
The levers are located on each side of the rear of the
unit below the rear engine plate. The bypass linkage
