Blades are extremely sharp and can cause severe injury.

2.5CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1.FRONT WHEELS: Reposition the front axle by raising the front wheels off the ground, then pull in the spring loaded bushings until they clear the brackets. Move bushings to the desired height of cut position and release the bushings. See Figure

2.REAR WHEELS: Reposition the rear axle by raising the rear wheels off the ground, then pull in the spring loaded bushings until they clear the brackets. Move bushings to the desired height of cut position and release the bushings. Position the rear bushings in to the same notches corresponding with notches for the front wheels to maintain the level of the deck. See Figure 2.6.

NOTE: There are four cutting height adjustment notches on each wheel. The top notch is the lowest cutting height and the lowest notch is the highest.

1.Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch 4).

2.Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense, lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the front wheel latches to improve recycling performance.
