Adjusting the Cutting Height

Using the Cutting Height Lever located under the Access Cover (Figure 20), adjust the Cutting Height
so that you cut off only one (1) to two (2) inches of grass at a time.

1. Open the Access Cover and remove the

Safety Key.

2. Make sure all four (4) Wheels are level.

3. Push the Lever out of its present

notched position and move the Lever
up or down to the desired level. When
you reach the desired level, simply
release the Lever into the notch.

To easily move the Cutting Height
Lever, hold the Handlebar with your
right hand to keep the Mower steady
and adjust the Lever with your left
hand.

Each position adjusts the Mower’s Blade level to a different Cutting Height. Pushing the Cutting
Height Lever towards Position 1 cuts more grass (which leaves your grass shorter); pushing the Lever
towards Position 4 cuts less grass (leaving your grass longer).

The following table lists the final cut grass heights.

Mowing on Slopes

Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes
require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

Always:

Use caution on slopes. Whenever possible, mow across the face of slopes, not up and down.
Exercise caution when changing direction on slopes.

Remove objects such as rocks and tree limbs, or any other potential object possibly thrown by
the Mower Blade. Objects struck by the Mower Blade can cause severe injuries.

Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Never:

Never mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.

Never mow steep slopes or any other areas where stability or traction is in doubt.

Never mow on wet grass. Unsure footing could cause you to slip.
