TO ADJUST
MOWER
CUTTING
HEIGHT
The position
of the attachment
lift lever (A)
determines
the cutting
height.
• Put attachment
lift lever in desired
cutting
height
slot.
The cutting
height
range is approximately
1
to 4" (25,4 to 101,6
mm).
The heights
are
measured
from the ground
to the blade tip
with the engine
not running.
These
heights
are approximate
and may vary depending
upon
soil conditions,
height
of grass
and
types
of grass
being mowed.
• The average
lawn should
be cutto approxi-
mately
2-1/2"
(63,5
mm) during
the cool
season
and to over 3" (76,2
mm) during
hot months.
For healthier
and better look-
ing lawns,
mow often and after moderate
growth.
• For best cutting
performance,
grass over
6" (152,4 mm) in height
should
be mowed
twice. Make the first cut relatively
high;the
second
to desired
height.
