CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVERS
B
The blade can cause
serious injury. Stop the engine before
adjusting cutting height.
There are five cutting height settings:
1 in (2.8 cm), l-l /2 in (4.1 cm), 2 in
(5.3 cm), 2-l 12 in (6.5 cm), and 3 in
(7.7 cm). These are approximate
figures, as the actual height of cut
grass will vary with lawn and soil
conditions.
To adjust cutting height, pull each
adjusting lever toward the wheel, and
move it into another notch. Set all four
adjusting levers to the same cutting
height position.
Select the correct cutting height for
your mowing requirements. Cutting
height settings of 1- l/2 in (4.1 cm) or
2 in (5.3 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 & 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.
