CONTROLS
Height Adjustment Lever This lever is used to raise
and lower the mower deck.
When the mower deck is
properly leveled, the
numbers near the height
adjustment lever indicate
the approximate number of
inches the forward blade tip
is from the ground.
Clutch Pedal (gear transmission models) The clutch pedal is used when shifting between gears and
when stopping and starting the riding mower. Pressing the
clutch pedal all the way down disengages the engine from
the transmission and allows you to move the shift lever
smoothly between gears.
Brake Pedal (gear transmission models) The brake pedal applies a brake to the rear wheels. The brake
pedal should only be used once the clutch pedal is pressed all
the way down, except when starting on a sloped surface.
lNoTlCEl
Partially pressing the brake pedal without first pressing the
clutch pedal all the way down can cause the drive belt to
wear prematurely.
Brake Pedal (hydrostatic transmission model) The brake pedal is linked to both the shift lever and the rear
wheel brake. When the brake pedal is fully pressed, the shift
lever returns to NEUTRAL and a brake is applied to the rear
wheels.
When the shift lever is not in NEUTRAL and the brake pedal
is partially pressed, the shift lever moves toward NEUTRAL.
