Cutting Height
There is a cutting height adjustment lever located above the front and
rear right wheel.
1. Pull the height adjustment lever towards wheel (unit will tend to
fall when lever is moved outward).
2. Move lever to desired position for a change in cutting height. See
Figure 10.
3. Release lever towards deck.
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same position. For
rough or uneven lawns, move each height adjustment lever to a higher
position. This will prevent you from cutting the grass too close to the
ground.
Handle pitch
For convenience of operation, you may adjust the pitch of the handle
as follows:
1. Remove wing nuts and carriage bolts from handle. See Figure 11.
2. Position the handle in one of the three positions that is most
comfortable. See Figure 11 inset.
3. Secure into position with wing nuts and carriage bolts removed
earlier.
