Engage the blade with the cutting deck in the highest position, and then gradual- ly lower to the height required.

could be too high for the lawn conditions. If this does not solve the problem, it is probably due to unsharpened cutting edges or the wings on the blade having become deformed (see chapter 7). 3.If the grass is very tall it should be mowed twice - once at the maximum cut- ting height, and perhaps reducing the cutting width, followed by a second cut at the required height. 4.Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs which could alter the hor- izontal position of the cutting deck or damage its edge...
