Operation

Adjusting the Cutting Height

The rear wheels are adjusted together with a height
adjustment rod located on the mower housing by
the left rear wheel. The front wheels are adjusted
separately by removing the front wheel shaft
assemblies, adjusting the height, and then replacing
the shaft assemblies. The cutting height can be
adjusted from 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) to 5 inches (127
mm) in 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) increments.
WARNING
Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring
your hands into contact with a moving blade. A
moving blade can cause serious injury.

stop before adjusting the cutting height.
• Do Not put your fingers under the housing
when adjusting the cutting height.
