TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See
Fig. 6)
The position of the attachment lift lever determines the
cutting height
, Grasp lift lever
Press plunger with thumb and move lever to desired
position
The cutting height range is approximately t-1/4 to 3-3/4"
The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip
with the engine not running These heights are approxi-
mate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height
of grass and types of grass being mowed
The average lawn should be cut approximately 2-1/2
inches during the cool season and over 3 inches during
hot months For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often and after moderate growth
• For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in
height should be mowed twice Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to desired height
