Adjusting the Cutting Height

Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving blade, causing serious injury.

•

Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

•

Do not put your ﬁngers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height.

If the engine has been running, the mufﬂer will be hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the hot
mufﬂer.

Adjust the cutting height as desired. Set all four wheels to the same height.

Note:

Only a front cutting height lever is shown.
