OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
cause severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower and while per-
forming any adjustments or repairs.
• Ensure that other people and pets remain at least 50 ft. away when the mower is in use.
• Remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other debris that might be thrown by the rotating
blades.
2. Cutting height adjustment
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set
to a low-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 1-1/2 in. and 2 in. during cool
months and between 2 in. and 3-1/4 in. during hot
months.
To adjust the blade height:
• To raise the blade height, grasp the height
adjustment lever and move it toward the back
of the mower.
• To lower the blade height, grasp the height
adjustment lever and move it toward the front
of the mower.
