Adjustment Pin & Deck Lift Lock Lever: These

the pedal until it locks into the 4-1/2” (11,47 cm)
position. Place the adjustment pin in the desired
cutting height and release the lift lock lever.

Pull the parking brake lever up to engage the parking
brake. Push the lever down to disengage the parking

Ground Speed Control Levers: These levers
control the ground speed of the rider. The left lever
controls the left rear drive wheel and the right lever

Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD
speed of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a
lever increases the REVERSE speed.
NOTE: The further a lever is moved away from the
neutral position the faster the drive wheel will turn.
See the Operation section for proper steering
instructions.

forward and back. Move the lever towards the left,
position the seat as desired, and release the lever to
lock the seat in position.
