Cut Height Adjustment
1. Standing to the rear of the mower, place your left hand on the lifting handle
(A)
to support the mower during adjustment.
2. Use your right hand to pull the cut height adjustment knob
(B)
away from
the mower and move to your desired cut height. Then release the knob,
making sure it snaps back into place.
3. Repeat the process on the other side, reversing hand placement, making
sure both wheels are at the same setting. Failure to align the wheels will result
in an uneven cut.
Note:
The factory-set cut height range is 1.5"–3.5". To raise your cutting height
to 2"–4" range, refer to
Cut Height Range Adjustment
on page 9.

Handle Height Adjustment
1. For people of average height, handle hole 2 can be used for the middle
cut-height settings, which are the most common. If you are tall or plan to
use the lower cut height settings, consider using hole 3. If you are short or
plan to use the higher cut height settings, consider using hole 1.
2. Before adjusting the handle height, it is important to set the mower to the
cut height that you will use most frequently (see
Cut Height Adjustment
).
3. Push the mower forward several feet, then turn it around as you would at
the end of a mowing run. If you can push the mower comfortably without the
front end rising and if you can turn the mower without hunching over, you
have the handle set properly.
• If the front end rises, you have the handle set too high. Lower the
handle by using hole 1.
• If you have to hunch over a great deal to turn, you have the handle set
too low. Raise the handle by using hole 3.
3. As the cut height is adjusted, the handle’s bottom position will also move.
Consequently, you may need to adjust the handle height if you drastically
change the cut height. Adjustment may also be needed if you share
mowing duties with someone else.
IMPORTANT:
To maximize comfort and control, your mower
features a height-adjustable handle. The handle is designed to
“float” between its bottom and in-use positions. The bottom position is
used to pivot through turns. The in-use position should be 6"–10" above
the bottom position. Lifting the handle in this fashion keeps the front
end from rising off the ground to ensure an even cut.
Since selecting
the correct handle height is extremely important, it is worth the
trial and error that may be required to find the ideal height.
4. With the wheel removed, rotate the plastic wheel cover
(G)
from the upper
hole
(H)
to the lower hole
(I)
on the side plate
(D)
. Moving to the lower hole
(I)
provides the higher cut height range (2"–4"). Moving to the higher hole
(H)
provides the lower cut height range (1.5"–3.5").
5. Organize the wheel parts for reassembly.
a. Assemble the axle bolt
(B)
and
washer
(E)
and insert through the
outside of the wheel.
b. Place the other washer
(F)
on the
axle bolt on the inside of the wheel.
6. Position the wheel assembly from Step 5 through the lower hole
(H)
.
Carefully replace the washer
(J)
on the axle bolt
(B)
and hand-tighten the
nut
(C)
from inside the side plate
(D)
.
7. Hold the nut
(C)
in place with the 17 mm wrench and firmly re-tighten the
axle bolt
(B)
using the 8 mm Allen wrench.
8. Press the orange hubcap on to snap it back into place.
9. Repeat on other side.

Cut Height Range Adjustment
Note:
The factory-set cut height range is 1.5"–3.5". To raise your cutting height
to 2"– 4" range, follow these steps.
The tools required are a 17 mm wrench, an 8 mm Allen wrench and a
flathead screwdriver.
1. Turn the mower upside down so it rests on the shroud. Set the mower to
the lowest cut height setting to move the rear wheels out of the way.
2. Starting on either side, use the flathead screwdriver to carefully pry off the
orange hubcap
(A)
.
3. Remove the axle bolt
(B)
using the 17 mm wrench to hold the nut
(C)
on the inside of the side plate
(D)
while turning the axle bolt
(B)
counterclockwise with the 8 mm Allen wrench on the outside of the wheel.

WARNING:
The mower blades are sharp. This adjustment requires
working in close proximity to the cutting reel blades. Leather gloves should
