Operating the Tractor
Adjusting Mower Cutting Height
The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between
approximately 1” and 3-5/8” (2,5-9,2 cm).
Electric Height of Cut Models: The cutting height
adjustment switch (D, Figure 5) controls the mower cut-
ting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The
arrows on the switch correspond to the direction of
adjustment (UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow
rotates the spout right, etc). When the adjustment indi-
cator has reached the end of its travel, release the
switch; holding the switch down will damage the motor
Manual Lift Models: The cutting height adjustment knob
(B, Figure 5) controls the mower cutting height. Turn the
knob clockwise to raise the deck and counterclockwise to
lower it.
