2 Select the required cutting height (1-5) using the cutting
height lever.
In order to obtain an even cutting height, it is important
that the air pressure is the same in both front wheels. See
the "Technical data" section.
3 Lower the cutting unit.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if
the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are
engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting
