NOTE: For mowers with low wheels, the
cutting height adjustment levers move
in the opposite direction to adjust; for
mowers with high wheels, the levers move
in the same direction.
IMPORTANT: Both the front and rear
wheels must be placed in the same
relative position. For rough or uneven
lawns, move the height adjustment levers
to a higher position. This will stop scalping
of grass.
