(See “TO AD JUST MOWER CUT TING

de ter mines the cut ting height.

ting height slot.
The cutting  height  range is  ap prox i-
 mate ly 1" to  4".  The heights are mea-
sured from the ground to the blade tip with 
the engine not running.  These heights 
are approximate and may vary depending 
upon soil conditions, height of grass and 
types of grass being mowed.
•   The average lawn should be cut to ap-
proximately 2-1/2 inches during the cool 
season and to over 3 inches during hot 
months.  For healthier and better looking 
lawns, mow often and after moderate 
growth.
•   For best cutting performance, grass over 
6 inches in height should be mowed 
twice.  Make the fi rst cut relatively high; 
the second to de sired height.
