TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING
HEIGHT
The position
of the attachment
lift lever
(A)
determines
the cutting
height.
• Put attachment
lift lever
in desired
cut-
ting 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 running.
These
heights
are approximate
and may vary
depending
upon
soil condi-
tions,
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.
