Adjusting the Cutting Height
You can change the cutting height at each wheel by adjusting
a cutting-height lever. Cutting heights are 25 mm (1 inch), 38
mm (1-1/2 inches), 51 mm (2 inches), 64 mm (2-1/2 inches),
76 mm (3 inches), 89 mm (3-1/2 inches), 102 mm (4 inches),
114 mm (4-1/2 inches).
DANGER
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.
