CuttingHeightAdjustment
Each wheel has a height adjustment lever which
provides cutting height adjustment. When the
adjustment lever is moved from one location to another
the height of cut will be changed. Simply depress the
lever towards wheel and move lever assembly to
desired position. See Figure 9.
All wheels must be placed in the same relative position.
For rough or uneven lawns, move the height
adjustment lever to a higher position. This will help stop
scalping of the grass.
