Operating Instructions

ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT

WARNING

The engine must be stopped before ad­ justing cutting height. Disengage the blade clutch (PTO), stop the engine, and remove the ignition key. Wait for all move­ment to stop before getting off the seat.

Cutting height is adjusted by positioning the four (4) retainer­ hitch pins in a series of seven vertical holes on the deck support pins. Lift handles have been provided­ on each end of the deck to assist in raising the deck while positioning the hitch pins. Cutting heights range from 1 in. (25 mm) [top holes] to 4 in. (102 mm) [bottom holes] in 1/2 in. (13 mm) increments.

TRANSAXLE LOCKOUTS

IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOW this mower faster than 2 mph (3.2 km/h) with the transmission lockout en- gaged. Towing can produce excessive internal pressure and damage the transaxle(s).

To move the mower with the engine NOT running (dead battery, maintenance, etc.), the transaxles need to be unlocked (released).

1.Raise the body.

2.Pull up on each transaxle lockout arm and move toward the center of the machine to engage the step that holds the arm in the UP (unlocked) position.

3.The mower will “freewheel” with the arms in the LOCKOUT position. The levers must be in the highest position to completely unlock the trans- missions.

4.After moving the mower, release the arms, plac- ing them in the normal OPERATING position. The transmission arm ends should be com- pletely retracted against the chassis, otherwise operation of the transmission maybe erratic.
