Operation
Pull the lever inward and rearward to raise the cutting
deck. Allow the handle to move forward to lower the
cutting deck. Move the deck height adjustment lever
outward at the desired height-of-cut. Only adjust the
height of cut while the machine is not moving.
Height-of-Cut Foot Lever
The height-of-cut foot lever allows the operator to
use their leg to assist in lowering and raising the deck
from the seated position (Figure 3). When the lever
is moved forward, away from the operator the deck
is raised from the ground and when moved back,
towards the operator it is lowered toward the ground.
Fuel Window
Located on the left side of the machine (see Figure 5).
The fuel window can be used to verify the presence
of fuel in the tank.

Operating Instructions
Think Safety First
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and
decals in the safety section. Knowing this information
could help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid
injury.
DANGER
Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control. Wheels dropping
over edges can cause rollovers, which may result
in serious injury, death or drowning. A loss of
traction is a loss of steering control.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
• Do Not mow near drop-offs or near water.
• Do Not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• When mowing slopes, gradually work from
lower to higher areas on the incline.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• Turn up, into an incline when changing
directions on slopes. Turning down the slope
reduces traction.
• Attachments change the handling
characteristics of the machine. Use extra
caution when using attachments with the
machine.

slope angle to be mowed.
