TO ADJUST THE DECK CUTTING
HEIGHT (See Fig. 5)
The deck cutting height is obtained by pressing
the foot pedal forward to lift the deck. To lower
the deck, you apply pressure to the top side of
the foot pedal and allow it to pivot while allowing
the lift arm to rotate to the rear of the unit. To
stop in a desired cutting position, rotate the foot
pedal down into the notch in the height plate.
The cutting height range is from 1 1/2" to 4 1/2"
in 1/2" increments. The heights are measured
from the ground up to the blade tip with the
engine not running.
• The average lawn should be cut to 2 1/2"
during the cool season and to over 3"
during the hot months. For healthier and
better looking lawns, mow often and after
moderate growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over
6 inches in height should be mowed
twice. Make the first cut relatively high;
the second to the desired height.
