SECTION 6: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING: Do not at any time make any adjustments without first stopping engine and disconnecting spark plug wire.
Each wheel has a height adjustment lever which provides cutting height adjustment. When the adjustment lever is moved from one location to another the height of cut will be changed. Simply depress the lever towards wheel and move lever assembly to desired position. See Figure 10.
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will help stop scalping of the grass.
