TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT

Before making any adjustments, turn off, unplug mower and wait for blade to stop rotating.

Use the Height Adjustment Control to raise deck for high cut and lower deck for low cut.

Adjust cutting height to suit your requirements. Medium position is best for most lawns.

While holding the finger grip up you can raise or lower the cutting height. The mulcher has eight blade height adjustment positions. Refer to the scale and pointer at the front of the mower. The pointer will give you the height setting for cutting your lawn. This setting can be a reference for the next time you want to cut your lawn at the same height. When you have the mower at the height you like, simply release the finger grip to lock the height in.

NOTE: To ensure that the deck is securely locked in one of the eight positions, press down on the palm rest after releasing the finger grip.
