heightsare measured fromthe groundto the blade tipwith
the engine not running. 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 toapproximately2-1/2
inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches
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 height°
