TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 9)
The cutting height is controlled by turning the height adjust-
ment knob in desired direction.
• Turn knob clockwise (f'_l) to raise cutting height,
• Turn knob counterclockwise (F'h)to lower cutting
height.
The cutting height range isapproximately 1-1/2" to 4",, The
heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip
with the engine not running. These heights are ap-
proximate and may vary depending upon soil condi-
tions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2
inches during the coo! season and to over 3 inches
during hot months. For healthier and better looking
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth
. For best cutting perf0rmance, grass over' 6 inches in
height should be mowed twice Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to desired height
