pearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower is
not adjusted properly.

unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting
lower.
2. With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjustment
nut (A) to the left to lower the mower, or, to the right to
raise the mower (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower
height about 3/16".
3. Test your adjustment by mowing some uncut grass and
visually checking the appearance. Readjust, if necessary,
until you are satisfied with the results.
