Adjusting the Cutting Height
WHEN USING THE PTA
™
FEATURE, INSTALL THE CUTTING CORDS IN ONE OF THE FOUR BOTTOM LINE
PLATES ONLY.
Adjusting the cutting height is easy. Cutting heights range in 1/2-inch increments from 1-1/2 inches when
using the bottom Line Plate, to approximately 4 inches when using the top Line Plate (Figure 14).
Install the Cutting Cords in the Line Plate that gives you the desired cutting height.
The Mow-Ball™ Support
Allow the front end of the machine to rest lightly on the Mow-Ball
™
Support as you are trimming. The
Mow-Ball
™
Support should glide on the ground as you maneuver the machine. To achieve the best and
smoothest cut, do not lift up on the Handlebar while operating your DR TRIMMER/ MOWER. Lifting
the Handlebar will force weight down on the Mow-Ball
™
Support. This uses more energy, slows the
cutting, and produces an unsatisfactory cut. Ideally, the Mow-Ball
™
Support should lightly rest on the
ground while the wheels balance most of the weight of the machine (Figure 15).
