29 August 2007 - 3:04Can I change cutting height for lawn mower without draining oil/gas?

Nic asked:

I just got a cheap lawn mower from Lowe’s and didn’t really care that I had to adjust the wheel height manually since there is not a lever, as on most self propelled mowers, but now, in it’s median height, it is barely skimming the grass.

Now that I have it filled with oil and gas, must I drain the fluids to turn it over and adjust the wheel height? I know, maybe a stupid question, but I just don’t want to damage the machine. Thanks for your help!
