Adjusting the Cutting Height
Stop, release switch lever, wait until the
motor stops and remove the plug before
adjusting height. The blades continue to
rotate after the machine is switched off, a
rotating blade can cause injury.
For the first cutting of the season, a high cutting ad-
justment should be selected.
Your machine has two settings which give the fol-
lowing approximate height of cuts:
low = 20 mm
To change the height of cut, place the handle in the
park position and turn the mower on its side and hold
onto the fan 13 (figure D):
Turn the cutting disc 11 relative to the
fan 13 to unlock the cutting disc.
Push/pull the cutting disc 11 on low or
high cutting position.
Turn the cutting disc 11 relative to the
fan 13 to lock the cutting disc.
