•Reassemble the upper handle to the lower handle.
•Place the hairpin clips in the inner holes in the weld pins and attach the starter rope as instructed in the Assembly section.
Adjusting Cutting Height
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will help stop scalping of the grass.
An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel position provides cutting height adjustment. Each adjusting plate has nine height positions. Height of cut will be changed when the thumb lever is moved from one hole to another.
•Simply depress the lever towards wheel and move lever assembly to desired position. See Figure 11.
•For rough or uneven lawns, move the height adjustment handles to higher cutting height position.
