Wheel height adjustment (fig. G & H)
Your mower features the Black & Decker One-Touch Wheel-
Height adjustment system. This system will adjust all four
wheels at the same time.
The mower has eight blade height adjustment positions
(25 mm to 82 mm). Refer to the scale and pointer at the front
of the mower. The pointer will indicate the height setting for
cutting your lawn. This setting can be a reference for the next
time you want to cut your lawn to the same height.
Release the bail bar (2) to turn the lawnmower off, wait
until the blade stops and remove the safety key (1).
To raise or lower the cutting height, place the palm of
your hand on the palm rest (15) and with your fingers,
squeeze upward on the finger grip (16) and hold.
While holding the finger grip (16), raise or lower the
cutting height as required.
When the mower is at the required height, hold it in
place with your left hand on the lower right handle bar
and release the finger grip (16) to lock the height
adjustment.
Note: To make sure that the mower is securely locked in one
of the eight positions, press down on the palm rest after
releasing the finger grip.
