Deck Height Index

The deck height index consists of several holes located on the front/right of the foot platform. Each hole corresponds to a 1⁄4” change in the deck height position ranging from 1” at the lowest notch to 5” at the highest notch.

Power Implement Lift

The power implement lift is located on the LH console to the left of the operator’s seat, and is used to raise and lower the mower deck.

To raise the mowing deck to the transport position, place the clevis pin on the deck height index in the furthest hole from you and secure with the cotter pin and then use the power implement lift. To lower the deck, remove the clevis pin and reinsert it in the desired cutting height and secure with cotter pin and then use the power implement lift.

Seat Adjustment Levers (Not Shown)

The levers allow for adjustment of the operator’s seat. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions on adjusting the seat.

Cup Holder

The cup holder is located toward the rear of the LH console to the left of the operator’s seat.
