To prevent possible damage to the mower deck, always raise it fully
when driving the lawn tractor to and from the mowing area; this
provides maximum ground clearance.
To avoid damaging or disabling the mower deck height adjustment
lever, never attempt to move the lever when the lawn tractor is
moving.
A higher cut may be needed to protect the lawn during the summer
months. Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden center for advice
about specific types of grasses and growing conditions in your area.
Most grasses should be cut when they have grown l/2 to 1 inch
above the recommended height. If your grass grows too tall, cut it
back a little at a time, allowing a few days for the grass to recover
between mowings. Avoid cutting more than one third of the total grass
height in any one mowing.
