CASTER WHEELS (Figure 3-6)
The Caster Wheels are shipped in the inverted position from the factory and must be placed in the correct operating
position for final assembly.
1. Raise and support the front of the mower enough so the Casters may be placed through the pivot tubes on the
wheel mounts from the underside.
2. Remove the retaining pin and slide the height adjusting spacers off the Caster and remove the Caster Assembly
from Pivot Tube.
3. Determine the cutting height desired and place the required spacers on the Caster pivot Shaft and slide the
caster pivot shaft back through the Pivot Tube. Install the unused spacers on the Pivot Shaft and install the re-
taining pin.
NOTE: There are (4) 1" and (2) 1/2" Height Adjusting Spacers per Caster Wheel Assembly.
Cutting Height can be achieved by placing a combination of Spacers either above or beneath the Pivot Tube.
4. Repeat the process on all the Caster Wheel assemblies. Be sure the Spacers are set up the same on all four
Casters.
5. Lower mower to ground, resting on the Caster Wheels.
