TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS
Gauge wheels are prop er ly ad just ed when
they are slight ly 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 AD JUST MOWER CUT TING
HEIGHT” in this sec tion of manual).
2. With mower in desired height of cut po si-
tion, gauge wheels should be assembled
so they are slightly off the ground. In stall
gauge wheel in ap pro pri ate hole. Tighten
se cure ly.
3. Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in
same adjustment hole.
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
The direction and speed of movement is
controlled by the gearshift lever (J).
1. Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal
depressed and gearshift lever in neu-
tral position.
2. Move gearshift lever to desired po si-
tion.
3. Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to
start movement.
IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete
stop before shifting or changing gears.
Failure to do so will shorten the useful life
of your transaxle.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT
The po si tion of the at tach ment lift le ver (A)
de ter mines the cut ting height.
• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting
height slot.
The cutting height range is ap prox i mate ly 1
to 4" (25,4 to 101,6 mm). The heights are
measured 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 cut to approxi-
mately 2-1/2" (63,5 mm) during the cool
season and to over 3" (76,2 mm) during
hot months. For healthier and better look-
ing lawns, mow often and after moderate
growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over
6" (152,4 mm) in height should be mowed
twice. Make the first cut relatively high; the
second to de sired height.
