CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 9)
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to the lowest cutting position. Before using the
mower for the first time, raise the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn. The
average lawn should be between 1.18" to 2" during cool months and between 2" and 3" during hot
months.
To adjust the blade height:
• To raise the blade height, grasp the rear height adjustment lever (1), then move it. Adjust the
mowing height according to the position indication of front and rear seats. The larger the
number, the higher the gear.

WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which can result
in severe injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is included as part of this manual to
measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area.
• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the blade/
motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or
balance.
