Adjusting Your Mower
Hint:
Cut Height Adjustment
Facing the front of the mower, place your right hand on the lifting
handle (A) to support the mower during adjustment. Use your left
hand to pull the cut height adjustment knob (B) away from the mower
and move to your desired cut height. Then release the knob making
sure the lever (C) snaps back into place.

Handle Height Adjustment
1. Before adjusting the handle height, it is important to set the mower to the
cut height that you will use most frequently (see hint to left).
2. Push the mower forward several feet, then turn it around as you would at
the end of a mowing run. If you can push the mower comfortably without
the front end rising and can turn the mower without hunching over, you have
the handle set properly.
•
If the front end rises, you have the handle set too high. Lower
the handle by using hole 2 for a slight adjustment or hole 1 for a
greater adjustment.
•
If you have to hunch over a great deal to turn, you have the handle set
too low. Raise the handle by using hole 4.
3. As the cut height is adjusted, the handle’s bottom position will also move.
Consequently, you may need to adjust the handle height if you drastically
change the cut height. Adjustment may also be needed if you share mowing
duties with someone else.

IMPORTANT: To maximize comfort and control, your mower
features a height adjustable handle. The handle is designed to
“oat” between its bottom and in-use positions. The bottom position
is used to pivot through turns. The in-use position should be 6" to 10"
above the bottom position. Lifting the handle in this fashion keeps the
front end from rising off the ground to ensure an even cut. Since
selecting the correct handle height is extremely important, it is
worth the trial and error that may be required to nd the ideal height.
