OPERATION

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. 10)

The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the cutting height.

A

Fig. 10

•Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.

The cutting height range is approximately 1" to 4". The heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with the engine not running. These heights are approximate and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass and types of grass being mowed.

•The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" during hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.

•For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 11)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in prop- er position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

•Withmowerindesiredheightofcutposition,gaugewheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole with shoulder bolt, washer, washer, and locknut and tighten securely.

•Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel in same adjustment hole.

Turning the ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
