Adjusting the Cutting Height

Important! When using the PTAfeature, install the cutting cords in one of the four bottom line plates only.

Adjusting the cutting height is easy. Cutting heights range, in ½ inch increments, from 1½ inches when using the bottom line plate, to approximately 4 inches when using the top line plate

(Figure 14).

1.Install the cutting cords in the line plate that gives you the desired cutting height.

The Mow BallSupport

Allow the front end of the machine to rest lightly on the Mow-BallSupport as you are trimming. The Mow-BallSupport should glide on the ground as you maneuver the machine. To achieve the best and smoothest cut, do not lift up on the handlebar while operating your DR® TRIMMER/ MOWER. Lifting the handlebar will force weight down on the Mow-BallSupport. This uses more energy, slows down the cutting, and produces an unsatisfactory cut. Ideally, the Mow-BallSupport should lightly rest on the ground while the wheels balance most of the weight of the machine (Figure 15).
