Possible Causes

Cutting height set below recommended level, uneven lawn surface, height mechanism stuck at a low position.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before adjusting the cutting height.

  • Raise cutting height: Increase the cutting height setting by one or more steps.
  • Check mechanism: Ensure the cutting height adjustment mechanism moves freely through its full range.
  • Level lawn: Fill low spots and smooth bumps to minimize scalping.
  • Gradual adjustment: Avoid sudden, large reductions in height; lower gradually over several days.
