the section applicable to your mower.
SINGLE LEVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The single lever cutting height adjustment is located above the
rear left wheel (Figure 15).
1. Carefully pull the height adjustment lever outward towards

2. Move lever to desired position for a change in cutting height.
3. Release lever towards deck.

DUAL LEVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The dual lever cutting height adjustment levers are located
above the front and rear right wheel (Figure 16).
1. Carefully pull the height adjustment lever outward towards
wheel (mower will tend to fall when lever is moved outward).
NOTE: The front and rear height adjustment levers move in
the opposite direction to adjust.
2. Move lever to desired position for a change in cutting height.
3. Release lever towards deck.
IMPORTANT: To avoid uneven cutting, all wheels must be placed
in the same cutting height position. For rough or uneven lawns,
move each height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will
prevent you from cutting the grass too close to the ground.
