4.1 PARALLEL TRIMMING (MODELS
73265, 73350, & 73455)
The EZ Trim Mower trimmer body can be adjusted to mow
at an angle. The trimmer body will move up to 2" to the left
or the right. This allows the machine to edge and trim in
hard to reach places. To adjust the parallel trimming setting:
1. Loosen two nuts on the bottom of the trimmer called
out in Fig. #4; the first (A) is located behind the
trimmer spindle, while the other (B) is in the center of
the back of the transmission support plate. Do not
adjust parallel trimming with the trimmer axle. This
will cause the drive chains to fall out of adjustment.
2. Pivot the trimmer body, on the slotted holes, to the
left or right. The trimmer body can pivot either left or
right up to 2".
3. Tighten the nuts loosened in step #1.
4. When finished using the parallel trimming feature
loosen bolts A & B and place the trimmer body in the
original position.
5. Tighten the bolts and resume regular trimming or
mowing.

Parallel trimming is adjustable on these models to the left
2". The trimmer body pivots on the trimmer axle.
1. Loosen the right axle nut located on the bottom of the
trimmer directly behind the axle shaft.
2. Lift the right wheel and pull back. The wheel and axle
will rotate backwards due to a slot cut in the bottom
of the trimmer frame.
3. Tighten the nut loosened in Step 1.
4. When finished using the parallel trimming feature,
loosen the right axle nut, and push the axle forward to
the original position.
5. Tighten the right axle bolt and resume regular trim-
ming/mowing.

4.3 OFF CENTER TILT FEATURE
(MODELS 74050, 74450, 74455,
74065, 74060)
On models with the Off Center Tilt (OCT) the trimmer body
is mounted on a cam that pivots to the left and tilts when a
mechanical lever is pulled. This feature elimintes the need
for manually adjusting the parallel trimming, as well as
allowing the machine to trim closer to the ground. To engage
the OCT feature simply pull the lever located on the right
side of the machine.
