SETTING THE CUTTING DECK HEIGHT
Fig 10 See fig. 12
Before using the product, raise the deck
height to the cutting position best suited for
your lawn.
NOTE: To prevent scalping the lawn when
encountering high spots, the cutting deck
wheels should be positioned approximately
1.27 cm (1/2 in.) off the ground when the
mower is at the desired cutting height. When
shipped, the cutting deck wheels are set to
the 3.81 cm (1.5 in.) position. Depending on
your preferred cutting height, you may need to
change the position of the cutting deck wheels.
To do so, refer to the "Adjusting Cutting Deck
Wheels" section in this manual.
To adjust the cutting deck height:
1. Stop the product, and disengage the
blades.
2. Turn the start key to the OFF position and
engage the parking brake.
3. To raise the cutting deck, grasp the deck
height adjustment lever, push left to
disengage from slot, move toward the
back of the mower, then push right into
slot to secure.
4. To lower the cutting deck, grasp the
deck height adjustment lever, push left
to disengage from slot, move toward the
front of the mower, then push right into
slot to secure.
