There is an adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel position to adjust the cutting height. Each adjusting plate has nine height positions. Height of cut will change if you move the thumb lever from one hole to another. Simply depress the lever towards wheel and move the wheel and lever assembly to the desired position. All wheels must be placed in the same relative position for uniform cutting height. See Figure 8.

For rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment handles to positions which will give a higher cutting height. Both front and rear handles must be placed in the same relative position.
