TO ADJUST THE DECK CUTTING
HEIGHT (See Fig. 5)
The deck cutting height is obtained by pressing
the foot pedal forward to lift the deck. To lower
the deck, you apply pressure to the top side of the
foot pedal and allow it to pivot while allowing the
lift arm to rotate to the rear of the mower. To stop
in a desired cutting position, rotate the foot pedal
down into the notch in the height plate. The
cutting height range is from 1 1/2" to 5" in 1/2"
increments. The heights are measured from the
ground up to the blade tip with the engine not
running.
The average lawn should be cut to 2 1/2"
during the cool season and to over 3"
during the 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 the desired height.
