CUTTING
HEIGHT
The position of the attachment
lift lever (A)
determines
the cutting height.
• Put attachment
lift lever
in desired
cut-
ting height
slot.
• Slide pointer
tab (T) to desired
cutting
height
as a reminder
for next time you
mow.
The cutting
height
range
is approxi-
mately
1" to 4".
The heights
are mea-
sured
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 ap-
proximately
2-1/2 inches during the cool
season
and to over 3 inches during hot
months.
For healthier
and better look-
ing lawns, mow often and after moderate
growth.
• For best cutting
performance,
grass over
6 inches
in height
should
be mowed
twice.
Make the first cut relatively
high;
the second
to desired
height.
