The cutting height is determined by the placement of the cutting height spacers above or
below the blade. Each cutting height spacer
changes the cutting height by 1/4 " (6.35 mm).
One cutting height spacer must ALWAYS be
installed below the blade(s). The twin blade
assembly has a 1/8" spacer and should be installed above the blade(s).

6.

If the blade(s) is raised, the cutting height
spacers removed from above must be replaced
below Ahe blade(s). Unless the desired cutting
height is known, it is recommended that three
cutting height spacers be used below the blade(s)
This gives an average cutting height. Always
re-install all the cutting height spacers either above
or below the blade(s).

follow ground contour.
