There are four height positions for the steering wheel.
To adjust the height of the steering wheel, remove the
hex bolt and hex lock nut on the steering shaft. Place
the steering wheel in the position desired and secure
with hex bolt and hex lock nut. Refer to figure 5.
NOTE: When raising the height of the steering wheel,stretch
the steering bellow to cover the steering shaft.
DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
If an uneven cut is obtained, the deck may be leveled
as follows.
With unit on hard, level surface, measure the distance
from the bottom edge of the center of the left side of
deck to the ground. Measure the same distance on the
center of the right side of the deck (just behind the
chute area on side discharge units). Or, place the
blades in a straight line, and measure the distance fromthe
outside edge of the blade tips to the ground.
Adjust the lift link on the left side of the deck asnecessary.
See figure 11. Recheck the adjustment.
5. Release the parking brake by depressing the
clutch-brake pedal, pressing outward on the speed
control lever and moving to desired position. Use
first speed position when operating the lawn trac-
tor for the first time.
6. Release clutch-brake pedal slowly to put unit into
motion.
7. The lawn tractor is brought to a stop by depress-
ing the clutch-brake pedal.
NOTE: When operating the unit initially, there will be little
difference between the highest two speeds until after
the belts have seated themselves i~to the pulleys dur-
ing the break.in period.
Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire,
or other objects which could damage lawn mower or
engine. For best results and to insure more even grass
distribution, do not mow when lawn is excessively wet.

position for any reason, disengage the
blades, place the shift lever in neutral,
engage the parking brake, shut engine off
and remove the key.
When stopping the unit to empty a grass bag, etc.,
follow the instructions above. This procedure will also
eliminate "browning" the grass, which is caused by hot
exhaust gases from a running engine.
If unit stalls with speed control in high speed, or if unitwill
not operate with speed control lever in a low speedposition,
proceed as follows.
1. Place shift lever in NEUTRAL.
2. Restart engine.
3. Place speed control lever in high speed position.
4. Release clutch-brake pedal fully.
5. Depress clutch-brake pedal.
6. Place speed control lever in desired position.

OPERATING THE CUTTING BLADES
The cutting blades may be engaged while the fawn trac-
tor is moving or standing still. DO NOT engage the cut-
ting blades abruptly as the sudden belt tension on the
pulley may cause the engine to stall.
WARNING: Keep feet and hands away from
the discharge opening, the blades or any
part of the deck. When the unit is used for
other than mowing operations, the blade
drive should be disengaged.
