OPERATION
TO ADJUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 8)
The po sition of the at tachment lift le ver (A) de termines the
cutting height.
• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.
The cutting height range is ap proximately 1" to 4". The
heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with
the engine not running. These heights are approximate
and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of
grass and types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2
inches during the cool season and to 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 de sired height.
