CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Cutting height can be adjusted from 2" to 4" by 1/2" incre-
ments by lowering or rasing the deck. For easiest adjustment
change the height from one side at a time. To change
cutting height, remove lock pins, raise or lower deck to
desired height, then reinsert lock pins. Repeat this step
on other side
NOTE: Be sure that the deck is level. Running the deck
out of level will result in poor cut quality and increased belt
wear.
CAUTION: DO NOT make cutting height
adjustment when engine is running.
CLEARING A CLOGGED CUTTING DECK: Turn
engine off and wait for blade to stop completely.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
