AdjustingCuttingHeight

IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same

relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the

height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will

help stop scalping of the grass.

An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel

provides cutting height adjustment. Each adjusting

plate has nine height positions. Height of cut will be

changed when you move the thumb lever from one

position to another.

• Simply depress the lever towards the wheel and

move the lever assembly to desired position. See

Figure 17.

• For rough or uneven lawns, move the height

adjustment handles to higher height position.
