If the blade brake clutch system is
inoperative, the blade will continue to rotate
when you release the blade control bail.
Contact with blade could occur, causing
serious injury.
•
Check the blade brake clutch operation
before each use.
•
Never use a mower equipped with a
blade brake clutch that has an inoperative
safety system.
•
Take your mower to an Authorized
Service Dealer for repair if the safety
system fails to operate properly.
Adjusting the Cutting
Height
Each wheel is adjusted individually with a wheel
height adjustment lever. Cutting heights are
1-1/4 inches (32 mm), 1-3/4 inches (44 mm),
2-1/4 inches (57 mm), 2-3/4 inches (70 mm),
3-1/4 inches (83 mm), and 3-3/4 inches (95 mm).
Adjusting the cutting height levers could
bring your hands into contact with a moving
blade and result in serious injury.
•
Stop the engine and wait for all
movement to stop before adjusting the
cutting height.
•
Do not put your fingers under the
housing when adjusting the cutting
height.
1. Pull the wheel height adjustment lever toward
the wheel (Figure 16) and move it to the
desired setting.
