platform, and is used to raise and lower the mower deck.

To raise the mowing deck to the transport position, push the

 

upper part of the pedal all the way forward and place the clevis

 

pin in furthest hole from you and secure with the cotter pin.

 

To lower the deck, remove the clevis pin and reinsert it in the

 

desired cutting height and secure with cotter pin.

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 4” at the highest notch.

RH and LH Drive Control Levers

The RH and LH control levers are located on each side of the operator’s seat. These hinged levers pivot outward to open space to permit the operator to either sit in the tractor seat, or to dismount the tractor. The levers must be fully opened out and in the neutral position and locked to start the tractor engine.

Each lever controls the respective RH or LH transmission. Consequently, these levers control all of the movements of the tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these control levers is quite different from conventional tractors, and will take some practice to master. Refer to Operation for instructions on using the control levers.
