Select the correct’cutting height for your mowing requirements. Cutting height
settings of l-1/4 in (3.2 cm) to 2-l/4 in (5.5 cm) are appropriate for most
lawns during cool weather. A higher cut may be needed to protect the lawn
during hot summer months. Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden center
for advice about specific types of grasses and growing conditions in your area.
If you are not certain which cutting height to select, check the appearance
of the lawn after mowing a small area, then readjust cutting height if necessary.
