Cutting Height Adjustments

This mower is equipped with one of three types of
cutting height adjustment. Refer to Single Lever, Dual
Lever or Rear Wheel/Caster Wheels in this section.
Rear Wheel Drive Mowers - The dual lever cutting height
adjustment levers are located above the front and rear
left wheels.
NOTE: On select mowers - The front and rear height
adjustment levers move in the opposite direction to
adjust height.
1. Carefully pull the height adjustment lever outward
towards wheel (mower will tend to fall when lever is
moved outward). Figure 9
2. Move lever to desired position for a change in
cutting height.
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.
NOTE: Height adjustment
levers may also be located
on the opposite side.
