Blade Switch

In order to engage the mower deck, pull the knob out; the mower blades are disengaged when the knob is depressed.

Parking Brake

The parking brake is found on the left of the machine. Push the release button and pull the lever backward to activate the brake—push forward to release it.

The park brake is designed to hold the mower from moving and is not intended for use in stopping the mower while it is in motion. The engine will stop if the park brake is engaged while the control levers are in the drive position.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The machine must stand absolutely still when applying the parking brake. Always set the parking brake before dismounting. Release the parking brake before moving the mower.

The cutting height range is from 1½" (38mm) to 4" (102mm) in ½" (13mm) increments. The heights are measured from the ground up to the blade tip with the engine not running.
