2.5 Setting The Cutting Height And Ground Clearance
Remove the Power Pack before making any adjustments. The Robomow has two basic adjustments,
cutting height and ground clearance. When using the high cut blades, the cutting height is adjustable
from approximately 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches (3.8 cm – 8.9 cm) and with the low cut blades from 1 inch to
2.5 inches (2.5 cm – 6.4 cm). By using the small wheels the minimum cutting height received is 0.75
inches (20 mm). The ground clearance has two (three when using the small wheels) adjustment
positions. The cutting height adjustment is located at the front wheel and is controlled by rotating the front
wheel hub in or out, which effectively causes the front wheel to be raised or lowered. See Figure 2.7.
Rotate the front wheel
hub in (lower) or out
(higher) to adjust the
cutting height. Each
click represents about
1/4 inch (6 mm) in
height of cut.
Rotate this
direction for higher
cut
WARNING!
!
The ground height adjustment is located in the Power Pack compartment of the mower. See Figure
2.8. It has two positions, upper and lower. (RL550 Europe has three; upper, lower and middle) The
lower position (closest to the bottom of the Power Pack compartment) provides the highest level of
ground clearance while the upper position (farthest from the bottom of the Power Pack compartment)
provides the lowest level of ground clearance. See Figure 2.9. It is typically recommended to adjust
the rear ground clearance for maximum clearance, which is the setting closest to the base of the
Power Pack compartment. European lawns and lawns where the grass is cut at extremely low levels
of less than 2.0 inches (5 cm) may find that adjusting the ground clearance to the minimum level may
work best for them.
Rear ground height
adjustment is located
in the Power Pack
compartment.

Severe injury is possible. Always remove the Power Pack when attempting
to adjust the height of cut or otherwise lifting the mower off the ground.
Never lift the mower or attempt to adjust the cutting height during
operation. Blades are very sharp and severe cuts or lacerations
are possible. When working around or near the blades
Rotate this
direction for lower
cut
always wear heavy gloves.
