TO ADJUST
MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
The position of the attachment lift lever (A)
determines the cutting height,
. Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting
height slot.
The cutting height range is approximately 1 '
to 4". The heights are measured from the
ground to the blade tip with the engine not run-
ning These heights are approximate and may
vary depending upon soil conditions, height
of grass and types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to ap-
proximately 2-1/2" during the cool sea-
son and to over 3"during hot months.
For healthier and better looking lawns,
mow often and after moderate growth
• For best cutting performance, grass over
6 inches in height should be mowed
twice. Make the first cut relatively high;
the second to desired heighL
TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS
Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when
they are slightly off the ground when mower
is at the desired cutting height in operating
positiono Gauge wheels then keep the deck
in proper position to help prevent scalping
in most terrain conditions.
NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on
a flat level surfacer
