ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
Warning! Cutting height adjustments should only be performed after the engine and blades have
come to a complete stop!
It is always best to begin cutting your lawn with a higher deck height to prevent scalping your lawn.
The cutting height is adjusted with the lever.
Actuate the adjustment lever and pull it to the required position.
MOWING
The engine throttle on your mower has been preset to provide optimum bagging and mulching performance for
years to come.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from becoming frayed and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few inches in order to
avoid stripes.
It’s important to keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass build-up. This buildup will
decrease mulching quality, and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding
a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If necessary, mow a
number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine has been turned off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if
the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or
replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately turn off the lawn mower and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that
are damaged.
