Front Wheel
14. Units without height adjustment brackets—If
the wheels on your mower are not already
assembled, proceed as follows. The front
wheels must be assembled in one of the three
holes nearest the front of the deck. See figure
9. The rear wheels must be assembled in one
of the three holes nearest the rear of the deck.
The three holes provide three cutting heights
for your mower. Use the same hole location
for all four wheels when assembling. If wheels
are to be assembled in the lowest cutting
position (highest hole in the deck), refer to the
note below.
------ To assemble the wheels (see figure 9):
A. Place shoulder bolt (F) through wheel.
B. Place one belleville washer 7/8" O.D. (G) on
shoulder bolt, with the cupped side of
washer toward the deck (away from wheel).
C. Secure wheel to deck with one belleville
washer 1-1/8" O.D. (H) on the inside of the
deck (cupped side against the deck) and
hex nut (I).
NOTE
If the lowest cutting position (high­
est hole in the deck) is used, it is
necessary to place the 1-1/8" washer
on the outside of the deck and the
7/8" washer on the inside.
15. Check all nuts and bolts for correct tightness.
A
CAUTION
Please note that the chute deflector
on your mower is in an upright posi­
tion. It is held in that position by a
shipping block. This block is used
for shipping purposes only. It must
be removed and discarded before
your mower is put into operation.
