Each wheel has a height adjustment lever to
change the cutting height of the mower.
1. Depress the lever towards the wheel and
slide the lever assembly to desired position
for a change in cutting height. See Figure 13.
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the
same relative position. For rough or uneven
lawns, move the height adjustment lever to a
higher position. This will stop scalping of grass.
