Push the cutting height control in the direction of the wheel and then rearward to increase the cutting height. 2. Push the cutting height control in the direction of the wheel and then forward to decrease the cutting height. (Fig. 44) CAUTION: Do not set the cutting height too low. The blades can hit the ground if the surface of the lawn is not level. To start the product 1. Make sure that the ignition cable is connected to the spark plug. 2. Stay behind the product. 3. Adjust the throttle control. a) If the engine is cold, set the throttle control to the choke position. (Fig. 45) b) If the engine is warm, do not set the throttle control to the choke position. 4.

Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the result and lower the cutting height to an applicable level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2 times if necessary. • Cut in different directions each time to prevent stripes in the lawn.
