Adjusting the Cutting Height

WARNING
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.
• Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
• Do not put your fingers under the housing when
adjusting the cutting height.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be
hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the
hot muffler.
Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels to
the same height.
Note: To raise the machine, move all 4 cutting height levers
forward; to lower the machine, move them all rearward
(Figure 11).
