Adjusting Mower Cutting Height
The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between
approximately 1” and 3-5/8” (2,5-9,2 cm).
Electric Height of Cut Models: The cutting height
adjustment switch (A, Figure 6) controls the mower
cutting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The
arrows on the switch correspond to the direction of
adjustment (UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow
rotates the spout right, etc). When the adjustment
indicator has reached the end of its travel, release the
switch; holding the switch down will damage the motor.
