The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip
with the engine not running.
These heights are approxi-
mate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height
of grass and types of grass being mowed.
The average lawn should be cut approximately 2-1/2
inches during the cool season and over 3 inches during
hot months.
For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often and after moderate growth
For best cutting performance,
grass over 6 inches in
height should be mowed twice.
