7.8 DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other
matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be
cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).
7.9 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawnmower without first stopping the engine and disconnecting the
spark plug wire. Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 10 height positions. (Fig.12E)
The height (the blade to the ground) can be adjusted from 25 mm to 75 mm.
1. Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before changing mower cutting height.
2. The central height adjustment lever offers you 10 different height positions.
To change the height of cut, squeeze the adjuster lever towards the wheel, moving up or down to selected height.
