ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT

1. To set the cutting height, pull the hydraulic lift lever
backward to raise mower deck to the top position. Turn
the cutting height control dial to adjust height.
2. Set the anti-scalp rollers' height as shown to keep
clearance between rollers and ground more than 6
mm.
3. Lower the mower deck by pushing the hydraulic lift
lever downward. This lowers the mower deck from the
"Transport" position to the "Operating" position.
4. Use the higher settings for mowing in a rough area or
when mowing tall grass. Lower settings should be
used only for smooth lawns where short grass is
desired.
