MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height range is approximate y 1-1/2 to 4-1/2
inches. The heights are measured from the ground to the
b ade tip with the engine shut off. The average awn
shou d be cut to approximate y 2-1/2 inches during the
coo season and to over 3 inches during hot months. The
particu ar height may vary depending on soi conditions,
type of grass and height of grass being mowed. For
hea thier and better ooking awns, mow often and after
moderate growth. For best cutting performance, grass
over 6 inches in height shou d be mowed twice. Make the
first cut re ative y high, the second to the desired height.
TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

strap and secure with hair cotter pin.
• Make sure that both side height adjustment straps are

FRONT TO BACK RAKE ADJUSTMENT
To obtain the best cutting resu ts and to reduce engine

he p prevent the front corners of the mower from gouging
into the soi when mowing on uneven terrain. The factory
setting of the whee s (highest of three positions) is
adequate for most awn conditions. If the whee s are
owered, they must c ear the ground when the mower is
set at the desired cutting height with front to back rake.
