7.3 Adjusting cutting height
The mower is equipped with a continuously
adjustable cutting height of approx. 30 - 75 mm
(approx. 1 - 3 inches). The height adjustment for
all wheels is accomplished by the central
adjustment (16). Turning to the right reduces the
cutting height, and turning to the left increases the
height. The height can be read from the markings
(11).
Attention: The cutting height is to be set so that
the blade does not touch the ground when the
ground is not level. Only mow with the lowest
cutting adjustment when lawns are flat.
