WHEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (1-1/4 IN. (32mm) TO 3-1/2 IN. (89mm) FIGURE E
NOTE: Certain types of grass or grass conditions may require varying the height of the mower deck.
1. Before making any adjustments, turn mower off, wait for blade to stop,
and unplug mower.
2. Your mower features the Black & Decker single lever wheel height
adjust system. This system will adjust all four wheels at the same time.
Mower adjusts from 1-1/4 in. (32mm) to 3-1/2 in. (89 mm) with six incre-
ments which are marked on the mower.
3. Place your left hand on the height adjust handle E1 and your right
hand on the lower part of the main handle E2.
4. Pull height adjust handle (E1) away from mower, and re-set in the
desired height adjust position. Rotating the height adjust handle towards
the front of the mower lowers the cutting height, and rotating towards the
rear raises the cutting height.
RECOMMENDED APPROXIMATE CUTTING HEIGHT
The cutting height should be in the higher recommendation for warmer
weather, lower for shade areas and for the last mow before winter. Follow
the 1/3 rule, never cut off more than 1/3 of the total height of the grass. If
lawn is too high to practice this rule, raise the cut height before mowing and then lower to desired height and mow again in a day or so.
