Adjustments
Cutting Height
There is a cutting height adjustment lever located above the
front and rear right wheel.
1. Pull the height adjustment lever towards wheel (unit will
tend to fall when lever is moved outward).
2. Move lever to desired position for a change in cutting
height. See Fig. 3-10.
3. Release lever towards deck.
IMPORTANT: Both the front and rear wheels must be
placed in the same relative position. For rough or uneven
lawns, move the height adjustment levers to a higher
position. This will stop scalping of grass.
