The discharge chute de.ector (7) is designed for
your personal safety. The de.ector must be
permanently closed when using the lawnmower without
grass catcher (6).
6.3 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.
