mower, turn off blades, and raise deck fully up to
transport position.
2. Move forward slowly to make certain deck clears the
obstruction.
3. Lower deck to cutting height after mower has passed
over obstruction, engage blades, and continue
mowing.
IMPORTANT: The deck must be level and blades
disengaged before setting deck cutting height. See
instructions for “Deck Cutting Height and
Leveling” on page 29.
IMPORTANT: See deck stop (#3) in Figure 2-8.
To operate deck stop pin, push in center button on
head of pin to remove & insert pin.
NOTE: Cutting height provided on deck height
indicator (#4) is from 1" to 5" in 1/4" increments.
IMPORTANT: It is best to mow around obstructions;
not over them. Beware, the front of the deck can
clear an obstacle and still make contact by high
centering on the obstacle. Mowing over obstacles
that make contact with the deck can bend/break
mower deck, mower blades, and blade spindles.

warm and engine fails to start after 5 seconds of
cranking. Avoid engine flooding by pushing choke
control knob to (OFF) as soon as possible.

operated for periods longer then 30 seconds at a
time. An interval of at least two minutes should be
allowed between such cranking periods to protect
the starter from overheating and burn-out.
