Rear Wheels

1. Using bolts and washers from Group 1 of the hardware

pack, secure the rear wheels to the deck as shown in Fig.

3-6. The washer should be installed with the crown side

facing the wheel.

IMPORTANT: Make sure both front and rear wheels are

attached to the deck in the same hole so that ALL wheels

are at the same relative position to ensure an even cut.

NOTE: The lowest height (top hole) is recommended for

use only on smooth lawns with short grasses (e.g. Bermuda,

zoysia). Refer to Cutting Height in the Adjustments section.
