MAINTENANCE 8, ADJUSTMENTS -
Cutting Height
The cutting height of your mower can be easily adjusted
within two ranges: a low range of Ii/2 to 3’/2 inches, and a
high range of 3’/2 to !5’/2 inches. Your Honda dealer
assembled your mower with the wheels in the most common
range for your area. If you need to change the range, follow
the procedures in Cutting Range on page 60.
Always shut off the engine and remove the key before
adjusting cutting height.
Be sure to adjust both the front and rear wheels to the same
cutting height to get the best performance and cut quality.
