Cutting Height
There is a cutting height adjustment lever located above the front and
rear right wheel.
1. Pull the height adjustment lever outward towards wheel (unit will
tend to fall when lever is moved outward). See Figure 8.
2. Move lever to desired position for a change in cutting height. See
Figure 8.
3. Release lever towards deck.
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same position. For
rough or uneven lawns, move each height adjustment lever to a higher
position. This will prevent you from cutting the grass too close to the
ground.
