This article explains how to troubleshoot issues with the cutting height adjustment on your electric lawnmower.


⚠️ Safety Notice

Ensure the lawnmower is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any checks or adjustments.


Possible Causes & Basic Checks

  • Check that the height adjustment lever is free from grass, dirt, or debris.
  • If the lever feels stiff, apply a suitable lubricant (e.g. WD-40) to help it move smoothly.

How to Adjust the Cutting Height

  1. Pull the cutting height adjustment lever outwards.
  2. Move the lever forwards or backwards to select the desired cutting height.
  3. Return the lever to its locked position. Ensure it is securely in place.

Cutting height settings typically range from 25mm to 75mm (position 1 to position 7), depending on the model.


If the Issue Persists

If the height adjustment still does not work correctly, there may be an issue with the connection between the adjustment lever, rear axle, and connecting rod.

Please contact our Technical Support Team for further assistance.


✔️ Summary

  • Clean debris from height adjustment lever
  • Lubricate if stiff
  • Adjust lever between 25mm–75mm settings
  • Ensure lever locks into place
