SETTING BLADE HEIGHT (Fig. 9)
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low-cutting position. Before using the
mower for the first time, adjust the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn.
The average lawn should be between 1-1/2 in. to 2 in. during cool months and between 2
in. and 3-1/4 in. during hot months.
To set the blade height:
■ To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever and move it toward the back
of the mower.
■ To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever and move it toward the front
of the mower.
