Cutting Height Adjustment

Each wheel of the mower can be adjusted to one of six settings. The
actual height of cut grass will vary with lawn and soil conditions.
Be sure the engine is not running when adjusting the cutting height.
To adjust cutting height, pull each adjustment lever toward the wheel,
and move it into another notch.
Move all four adjustment levers to the same position, forward for tall
grass and rearward for short grass.
THE CUTTING HEIGHT FIGURES ARE APPROXIMATE
If you are not sure what cutting height to select, start with a high
setting and check the appearance of the lawn after mowing a small
area. Then readjust the cutting height if necessary.

Check the Oil Level

1. Unscrew and remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
