OPERATING MOWER
Using Lift Lever to Raise and Lower Mower
Check out the two different lift lever positions before
operation:
• TRANSPORT (UPPER) POSITION: Raises mower
for transport.
• MOWING (LOWER) POSITION: Maintains cutting
height set by mower height control yet allows deck to
float over uneven terrain.
To put mower in MOWING (lower) position:
• Pull lift lever (A) back slightly.
• Pushinbutton(B).
• Push lever forward until it latches down.
To put mower in TRANSPORT (upper) position:
• Push forward on lift lever (A) slightly.
• Pushinbutton(B).
• Pull lever back until it latches.
Adjusting Cutting Height
NOTE: Adjust gage wheels after you change cutting
height. (See Adjusting Mower Gage Wheels in this
section.)
Cutting height can be adjusted from approximately 25–
100 mm (1–4 in).
When lift lever is in TRANSPORT (upper) position (lift
lever all the way back), cutting height is approximately
100 mm (4 in).
Knob (A) has cutting height identification numbers
embossed in it. To change or attain cutting height
desired:
• Pull lift lever all the way back to TRANSPORT (upper)
position.
• Turn cutting height knob (A) to desired cutting height
position. Mower will be at this cutting height each time
you lower it.
IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage. Lift lever
must be in TRANSPORT (upper) position before
turning cutting height knob.
