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 1-I/4" to 3-3/4".
The heights are measured from the ground to the blade t p
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.
