MOWER RUNNER ADJUSTMENT
After adjusting the cutting height and blade pitch as
described elsewhere In this section, thè mower runners
may be adjusted, as desired, to allow smooth, even
cutting of grass at different cutting height settings. Ad­
justment must be even from side to side. Assemble out­
side spacers to runners and mower before center
spacers. This will aid in alignment and ease of installa­
tion. Do not tighten hardware until outside spacers are
installed.

may be adjusted as shown in Figure 1 5.
