= Turn knob counterclockwise to lower cutting height.
The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/4" to 3-3/4'L
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.

2-1/2 inches during the cool season and to over 3
inches during hot months_ For healthier and better
