FIXING FRONT AXLE
To avoid serious injury or death:
A
Park the machine on a firm and level surface.
A
Stop the engine, remove the key and engage
the parking brake.
A rigid front axle is recommended for a more even cut
under mowing the rough terrain.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Remove the two L-pins from their original position.
3. Insert L-pins into the holes on the front axle as shown
below.
4. Install the hairpins between the axle mount frame and

OSCILLATING FRONT AXLE
For oscillating the front axle, reverse the above
procedures.
The oscillating front axle provides a smoother ride than
the rigid front axle and oscillates with the terrain.
