OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Cutting height adjustment
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. and 2 in. during cool months and between 2 in. and 4 in. during hot
months, depending on the type of grass.
To adjust the blade height:
•
To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever (E) and move it toward the back of
the mower.
•
To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever (E) and move it toward the front of
the mower.
