Adjusting the Cutting
Height
Each wheel is adjusted individually with a wheel
height adjustment lever. Cutting heights are 1 inch
(25 mm), 1-1/2 inches (38 mm), 2 inches (51 mm),
2-1/2 inches (64 mm), 3 inches (76 mm), and
3-1/2 inches (89 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 18) and move it to the
desired setting.

Using the Grass Bag
Occasionally, you may wish to use the grass bag
for bagging extra long grass, lush grass, or leaves.
Installing the Grass Bag
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
2. Ensure that the discharge door handle is fully
forward and that the pin is engaged in the
catch (Figure 19).

(Figure 20).
