Cutting Height Adjustment Lever
The cutting height adjustment lever is located above
the left rear wheel. To adjust the cutting height, pull the
lever out and away from the mower and then move it
forward or back for a new cutting height. See Figure 12.
NOTE: For rough or uneven lawns, move the height
adjustment lever to a higher position. This will help
prevent the scalping of grass.
