BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER

•Set vehicle parking brake or chock wheels to prevent accidental rolling.

•Stop mower properly.

CAUTION!

SHUT OFF MOWER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM

SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.

MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

•Adjust while mower is not running.

•The cutting range is approximately 1.5” to 4.5”. The height has been measured from the ground to the blade tip without the engine running.

•Rotate height adjust crank handles (H7N) in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck. A counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck.

•Make sure the height adjustment is the same at side crank handles. For best results, see “SUGGESTED PRACTICE” section. Graduated scales are for reference only, not the actual cutter height.

•Place crank handle in a retracted position to maintain height adjustment.

•Adjust the cutting height.

•Double check vehicle to mower attachment.

•Start mower engine properly.

•Slowly, activate the blade engage lever (6008) by rotating it forward and left until the lever locks into place.
