4.15 ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1-1/4
inch to 5 inches at 1/4-inch intervals. To adjust the cutting
height:
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the cutting height with the mower
blades rotating. Disengage the power to the cutter
blades and then adjust cutting height.
1. Disengage the power to the cutter blades.
2. Push the cutting height adjustment foot pedal all
the way forward using your right foot until it locks in
place. See Figure 4-6.

4.14 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING
1. Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear
grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and
reduced mowing power.
WARNING
DO NOT operate without Discharge Chute,
Mulching Kit, or entire Grass Catcher properly
installed.
2. The discharge chute must not be removed and
must be kept in the lowest position to deflect grass
clippings and thrown objects downward. Direct the
side discharge away from sidewalks or streets to
minimize cleanup of clippings. When mowing close
to obstacles, direct the discharge away from the
obstacles to reduce the chance of property damage
by thrown objects. Do not mow when bystanders are
present.
3. Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut
grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass
for best appearance). Mow frequently.
4. Keep mower and discharge chute clean.
5. For best overall cut performance, it is recommended
to set the speed control lever in LOW while mowing.
See Section 4.18.
6. When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice.
Set the speed control lever to LOW. Raise the mower
to the highest setting for the first pass and then
make a second pass to the desired height.
7. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.
8. Operate the engine at full throttle for best cutting.
Mowing with a lower RPM causes the mower to tear
the grass. The engine is designed to be operated at
full speed.
9. Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn
appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each
time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in
the grass.
