TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 11)
The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the
cutting height.
A
• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.
The cutting height range is ap prox i mate ly 1 to 4" (25,4 to
101,6 mm). The heights are measured from the ground to
the blade tip with the engine not running. These heights are
approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions,
height of grass and types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to approximately
2-1/2" (63,5 mm) during the cool season and to over 3"
(76,2 mm) during hot months. For healthier and better
looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (152,4 mm)
in height should be mowed twice. Make the fi rst cut
relatively high; the second to de sired height.
