5.1.2 Adjusting the cutting height

Important! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the spark plug con-
nector has been pulled off .
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the wheel caps
(Fig. 7e).
2. Use the supplied spark plug wrench to remo-
ve the wheels (Fig. 7c/Item 13).
3. The cutting height is not adjusted at a single
central point – instead, each of the 4 wheels
must be adjusted separately. Decide which of
the 3 cutting heights you want to use (Fig. 7a)
Position 1: Low cutting height
Position 2: Medium cutting height (suitable for
normal use)
Position 3: High cutting height
Important: All 4 wheels have to be set to the same
cutting height.
4. Fit the wheels (Item 14) as shown in Fig.
7a-7c using the supplied spark plug wrench
(Item 13).
Important: To fasten the wheels on the right-
hand side you must use screws with a right-hand
thread (Item 16). For the left-hand side you must
use screws with a left-hand thread (Item 17).
