NOTE: For mowers with low wheels, the
cutting height adjustment levers move
in the opposite direction to adjust; for
mowers with high wheels, the levers
move in the same direction.
IMPORTANT: Both the front and rear
wheels must be placed in the same

lawns, move the height adjustment
levers to a higher position. This will stop
