CUTTING
HEIGHT
The
position
of the attachment
lift lever
(A)
determines
the cutting
height.
• Put attachment
lift lever in desired
cutting
height
slot.
The cutting
height range is approximately
1"
to 4".
The
heights
are measured
from the
ground to the blade tip with the engine not run-
ning. These heights are approximate
and may
vary depending
upon soil conditions,
height
of grass
and types
of grass
being
mowed.
• The
average
lawn
should
be cut to ap-
proximately
2-1/2"
during
the cool
sea-
son
and to over
3" during
hot months.
For healthier
and
better
looking
lawns,
mow
often
and
after
moderate
growth.
• For best cutting
performance,
grass
over
6" in height should
be mowed twice.
Make
the first cut relatively
high; the second
to
desired
height.
