Adjusting the Cutting Height

Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving cutterblade, causing serious injury.

•Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

•Do not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height.

If the engine has been running, the exhaust guard will be hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the hot exhaust guard.

Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels to the same height.
