Cutting Height Adjuster

The deck cutting height is obtained by pressing the foot pedal forward to lift the deck. To lower the deck, apply pressure to the top side of the foot pedal and allow it to pivot while the lift arm rotates to the rear of the unit. To stop in the desired cutting position, rotate the foot pedal down into the notch in the height plate. The cutting height range is from 1½" (38mm) to 4½" (114mm) in ¼ (6mm) increments. The heights are measured from the ground up to the blade tip with the engine not running.
