See Figure 7.
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low-
cutting position. Before using the mower for the first time,
raise the cutting position to the height best suited for your
lawn. The average lawn should be between 1-1/2 in. to 2 in.
during cool months and between 2 in. and 3-1/4 in. during
hot months.
WARNING:
Always set both front and rear height adjustments at the
same level. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious injury.
The front and rear wheels adjust separately. Be sure to set
the adjustment for the front and rear wheels at the same
height to ensure level cutting.
To adjust the blade height:
 To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment
lever, pull toward you, and move it toward the center of
the mower deck.
 To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment
lever pull toward you, and move it toward the front or
back of the mower.
