TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
The position of the attachment lift lever (A)
determines the cutting height.
• Put attachment lift lever in desired cut-
ting height slot.
The cutting height range is approxi-
mately 1" to 4". The heights are mea-
sured from the ground to the blade tip with
the engine not running. These heights
are approximate and may vary depending
upon soil conditions, height of grass and
types of grass being mowed
• The average lawn should be cutto ap-
proximately 2-1/2 inches during the cool
season and to over 3 inches during hot
months. For healthier and better look-
ing lawns, mow often and after moderate
growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over
6 inches in height should be mowed
twice° Make the first cut relatively high;
the second to desired height.
TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS
Gauge wheels are properly adjusted
when they are slightly off the ground when
mower is at the desired cutting height in
operating position. Gauge wheels then
keep the deck in proper position to help
prevent scalping in most terrain conditions,
NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor
on a flat level surface,
1. Adjust mower to desired cutting height
(See "TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING
HEIGHT" in this section of manual).
2. With mower in desired height of cut
position, gauge wheels should be
assembled so they are slightly off the
ground. Install gauge wheel in appro_
priate hole. Tighten securely,
3. Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in
same adjustment hole.
TO OPERATE MOWER

presence sensing switch. Any attempt
by the operator to leave the seat with the
engine running and the attachment clutch
engaged will shut off the engine. You must
remain fully and centrally positioned in the
seat to prevent the engine from hesitating
or cutting off when operating your equip-
ment on rough, roiling terrain or hills.

tachment lift lever.
