HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE
WHEELS WITH AXLE BOLTS
1. To change the height of cut, change the
position of the axle bolts on the mower
housing. Make sure you assemble each
axle bolt in the same hole position so that
the mower will cut level.
2. Assemble the wheel to the mower hous-
ing with an axle bolt, washer, and flange
nut (Figure 8). To tighten, turn the axle
bolt. Do not turn the flange nut.
3. If your model has hub caps, push the hub
caps onto the wheels .

HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
ENGINE DOES NOT CONTAIN
OIL OR GASOLINE
See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for
the type of gasoline and oil to use. Before you
use the unit, read the information on safety, op-
eration, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine
manufacturer’s instructions for
the type of gasoline and oil to
use. Always use a safety gaso-
line container. Do not smoke
when adding gasoline to the en-
gine. When inside an enclosure,
do not fill with gasoline. Before
you add gasoline, stop the
engine. Let the engine cool for
several minutes.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an
internal combustion engine and must not
be used on or near any unimproved forest–
covered, brush–covered or grass–covered
land unless the engine’s exhaust system is
equipped with a spark arrester meeting
applicable local or state laws (if any). If a
spark arrester is used, it must be main-
tained in effective working order by the op-
erator.
In the State of California the above is re-
quired by law (Section 4442 of the Califor-
nia Public Resources Code). Other states
may have similar laws. Federal laws apply
on federal lands. See an Authorized Ser-
vice Center for a spark arrester for the
muffler.
NOTE: Actual sustained horsepower will
likely be lower due to operating limitations
and environmental factors.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Before you use the mower, check the assem-
bly of the wheels, the handle, and the controls.
Make sure all the fasteners are tight. Make
sure the the engine stop lever works correctly.
