To adjust the height of cut : Grip the lever and pull side-
ways to disengage it from the locking notch, then push for-
wards to raise or pull backwards to lower the height of cut.
Finally release the lever at the required position and ensure

ing low cuts in long grass conditions. Be prepared to make
two cuts when the grass is long.
