Height of cut adjustment
Your mower has an infinitely adjustable height of
cut between 6 – 36 mm with four markings be-
tween these (numbered 1-4) as a guide to adjust-
ment. A fifth position labelled "S" should only be
used with the scarifier cassette accessory or to
achieve a particularly short cut if the lawn is very
flat. The height of cut is adjusted by turning the
knob 16 at the right hand rear of the machine. The
comb will also require adjustment, See "Comb Ad-
justment".

Comb Adjustment
Your mower is fitted with an adjustable comb 17
which can be brought into use on the lower heights
of cut. It is set by loosening the screws 18 and rotat-
ing the comb until the tines just touch the ground.
You may need to re-adjust after changing the
height of cut. Take care not to set the comb too
deep, as this could cause damage to either your
mower or lawn.
