Cutting Height
Check the mower deck cutting
height settings, and be sure that
all four adjustment levers are set
to the same cutting height position.
ADJUSTMENT LEVERS
To adjust cutting height, pull each
adjustment lever toward the
wheel, and move it into another
notch.
If you are not sure what cutting
height to select, start with a high
setting and check the appearance
of the lawn after mowing a small
area. Then readjust cutting height
if necessary.
