HEIGHT - 40" MOWER DECKS
The cutting height adjustment lever (A, Figure 6) controls
the mower cutting height and has five positions. The
highest cutting position should be used when transport-
ing to and from the work site (do not cut with the lever in
the highest position). The lower four positions are used
when mowing.
Set this lever so that the deck is cutting off 1/3 the height
of the grass or less.
If the desired cutting height falls between two notches,
use the cutting height fine tuning adjuster (B) to achieve
the correct height.
