deck and to engage and disengage the blades.
Pulling it all the way back and locking it disengages
the blades.

The lift lever must be in the BLADES
STOP position when starting the engine, when
shifting into reverse and if the operator leaves the

B. DECK LIFT INDICATOR (Optional Equipment)
The deck lift indicator (if so equipped) marks the
position being used for the lift lever. Select the lift
lever position desired, press the indicator lever
outward, move it to the position immediately below
the lift lever and release the indicator lever. See
Figure 15.
C. SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
1. Select the position for the lift lever which gives
the desired cutting height. Move the deck lift
indicator (if so equipped) so that the lift lever
can be returned to the same position after it is
raised.
2. Move the deck wheels (if so equipped) to the
hole location so the wheels are 1/4 inch above
the ground. All wheels must be placed in the
same relative position.
