Operating; Adjusting The Cutting Height; Starting And Stopping - Husqvarna LB448S Manuel D'utilisation

Adjusting the cutting height

IMPORTANT! Shut down the engine before changing
the cutting height.
The cutting height adjustment is spring assisted. The
cutting height can be adjusted in 6 different steps.
Do not set the cutting height too low as there is a risk that
the cutters might hit ground with unevenness.
• To raise the cutting height move the lever to the left
and then forward.
• To lower the cutting height move the lever to the left
and then backward.
