Adjusting the Cutting

WARNING
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you
into contact with the moving blade, causing
serious injury.
• Shut off the engine and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
• Wear cut-resistant gloves while handling
the blade.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the muffler
will be hot and can severely burn you.
Keep away from the hot muffler.
Removing the Blade
1. Close the fuel-shutoff valve; refer to
Valve (page 10).
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
3. Tip the machine on its side, with the dipstick
down.
Important:
Always tip the machine onto its
side with the dipstick aligned down. If the
machine is tipped in another direction, oil
may fill the valve train—requiring at least 30
minutes to drain.
