Adjusting the Cutting Height

Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving blade, causing serious
injury.
• Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
• Do not put your fingers under the housing
when adjusting the cutting height.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will
be hot and can severely burn you. Keep away
from the hot muffler.
Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels
to the same height.
Note: To raise the mower, move the 2 cutting height
levers forward; to lower the mower, move them both
rearward (Figure 11).
