Cutting Height
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same
relative position.
•
For rough or uneven lawns, move the height
adjustment lever to a higher position. This will help
stop scalping of the grass.
An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel
position provides cutting height adjustment. Each
adjusting plate has nine height positions. Height of cut
will change when you move the thumb lever from one
position to another.
•
Simply depress the lever towards the wheel and
move the lever assembly to desired position. See
Figure 18.

If any adjustments are made to
the engine (e.g. carburetor) while the engine is
running, keep clear of all moving parts. Be
careful of heated surfaces like the muffler.
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner may cause an engine to run
rough too. Make sure that the air cleaner is clean and
attached to the carburetor before deciding to adjust the
carburetor.
To adjust carburetor, please follow the engine manual.
