There are two (2) other positlons. Pick the posi.
tion which suits you for best cutting (See Fig. 6).
3.
The wheel adjusters on your lawn mower can be easi.
ly adjusted as shown in Fig. 7. To change the height
of cut, squeeze adjuster lever toward the wheel, mov-
ing up or down to selected height. Be sure all wheels
are in the same setting (See Fig. 6).
4.
When cutting in heavy or moist grass, the rear of the
lawn mower may be raised one setting higher (by
lowering
the wheels one setting) to allow
better
discharge of the grass.
This will also make the unit push or propel
easier
because it will reduce the drag of the rear of the
mower on the grass. This will not harm the cutting
performance.
