Mower Height
of Cut Adjustment
The cutting height is adjustable between 1.0" and 4.0"
(2,5 and 10,2 cm).

cutting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The arrows
on the switch correspond to the direction of adjustment
(UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow rotates
the spout right, etc). When the adjustment indicator has
reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding
the switch down will damage the motor.
