BEFORE OPERATION

Adjusting the Cutting Height

WARNING: Adjusting the cutting height may bring
you into contact with the moving blade, causing
serious injury.
• Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
• Do not put your fi ngers under the deck housing
when adjusting the cutting height.
There are 7 cutting-height settings from 13 to 60mm.
To change the cutting height, hold the lever and pull it
sideways to disengage it from the locking notch.
• Pull the lever backwards to raise the cutting height
• Push the lever forwards to lower the cutting
height.
Finally release the lever at the required position and
ensure it locks fi rmly into one of the setting notches.
Always select a cutting height to suit the operating
conditions. Prevent engine overload and blockages by
avoiding low cuts in long grass. Be prepared to make
two cuts when the grass is long.
