ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION
Do not at any time make any adjust­
ment to lawn mower without first
stopping engine and disconnecting
spark plug wire.
EASY CUTTING HEIGHT
An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel
position provides cutting height adjustment. Each
adjusting plate has five holes. Height of cut will
be changed when the thumb lever is moved from
one hole to another. Simply depress thumb lever
towards
wheel and move wheel and lever
assembly to desired position. All wheels must be
placed in the same relative position.
HANDLE POSITION
The upper handle can be adjusted to a high or low
position. The operator of the lawn mower can easi­
ly adjust the handle position by unscrewing the
two knobs, removing the two bolts and reassembl­
ing in the other position. No tools are necessary
to make this adjustment. See figure 14.

WARNING t
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running
(e.g.
carburetor), disengage all
clutches and blades. Keep clear of
all moving parts. Be careful of
heated surfaces and muffler.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS (See figure 16.)
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
All carburetor adjustments should be made with
the air cleaner on engine. Air cleaner mounting
screw must be in carburetor when engine is run.
Best adjustment is made with a fuel tank half full
of gasoline.
