NOTE: For mowers with low wheels, the
cutting height adjustment levers move
in the opposite direction to adjust; for
mowers with high wheels, the levers move
in the same direction.

wheels must be placed in the same
relative position. For rough or uneven
lawns, move the height adjustment levers
to a higher position. This will stop scalping
of grass.
