Adjusting Mower Cutting Height

The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between approximately 1” and 3-5/8” (2,5-9,2cm).

Electric Height of Cut Models: The cutting height adjustment switch (D, Figure 5) controls the mower cut- ting height. This same switch also controls the spout rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The arrows on the switch correspond to the direction of adjustment (UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow rotates the spout right, etc). When the adjustment indi- cator has reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding the switch down will damage the motor

Manual Lift Models: The cutting height adjustment knob (B, Figure 5) controls the mower cutting height. Turn the knob clockwise to raise the deck and counterclockwise to lower it.
