Adjusting the Cutting Height
Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into
contact with the moving cutterblade, causing
serious injury.
• Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
• Do not put your fingers under the housing
when adjusting the cutting height.
If the engine has been running, the exhaust
guard will be hot and can severely burn you.
Keep away from the hot exhaust guard.
Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels
to the same height.
Note: To raise the mower, move all 4 cutting height
levers forward; to lower the mower, move them all
rearward.
