Section 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.3 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust cutting height, as desired, to any position,
using deck lift lever. IMPORTANT: There is a foot
assist pedal located to the right front side of the
footrest. Always use this assist pedal to raise or lower
the deck to the desired cutting height. See Figure 3.10.
2. Insert the stop pin to desired cutting height. See
Figure 3.11.
NOTE:
The engine does not have to be running to
adjust cutting height.
3.4 OPERATION- MOTION CONTROLS
This machine is equipped with dual hydrostatic wheel drive
transmissions. Each hydro pump is controlled by a sepa-
rate motion control lever. The left lever controls the left
wheel drive hydro pump and the right lever controls the
right wheel drive hydro pump. These levers control the
direction of motion, Forward & Reverse, and the speed of
motion. Move both levers forward to propel the machine
forward. Move both levers rearward to propel the machine
in reverse. The speed of motion is continuously variable
from neutral (zero) to the maximum. Moving the levers far-
ther from the neutral position will cause the speed of
motion to increase. To turn, move the lever on the side to
which you want to turn slightly rearward of the other lever.
Move levers slowly and carefully. DO NOT make sudden
changes in speed or direction. Always slow machine
motion before turning. To stop the motion of the machine,
bring both motion control levers to the neutral position.
Engage parking brake.
