OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE ARMREST
See Figure 5.
Both armrests adjust up and down for the most comfortable
operating height. The left armrest also adjusts forward and
backward.
To move the armrests up and down:
Turn the key to the OFF position and set the parking brake.
Remove the two bolts as shown.
Raise or lower the armrest to the desired height making
sure both bolt holes are still in alignment with the holes
in the seat frame.
Reinstall bolts and tighten securely.
To move the left armrest forward or backward:
Turn the key to the OFF position and set the parking brake.
Loosen the knob and adjust the armrest to the desired
position.
Tighten the knob firmly to secure the armrest in place.
WARNING:
Be sure the armrests are locked into place before operat-
ing the mower. An armrest that is not secure can cause
the operator to shift and lose control of the mower and
result in possible death or serious personal injury.
SETTING THE CUTTING DECK HEIGHT
See Figure 6.
Before using the mower, raise the deck height to the cutting
position best suited for your lawn.
NOTE: To prevent scalping the lawn when encountering
high spots, the cutting deck wheels should be positioned
approximately 1/2 in. off the ground when the mower is at
the desired cutting height. When shipped, the cutting deck
wheels are set to the 1.5 in. position. Depending on your
desired cutting height, you may need to change the position
of the cutting deck wheels. To do so, refer to Adjusting Cut-
ting Deck Wheels in the Maintenance section of this manual.
To adjust the cutting deck height:
Stop the mower and disengage blades.
Turn key to OFF position and set the parking brake.
To raise the cutting deck, grasp the deck height adjustment
lever, push left to disengage from slot, move toward the
back of the mower, then push right into slot to secure.
To lower the cutting deck, grasp the deck height adjust-
ment lever, push left to disengage from slot, move toward
the front of the mower, then push right into slot to secure.
CAUTION:
Hold the deck height adjustment lever firmly when setting
the deck height and only release when it is secure in the
desired slot. Quickly letting go of the lever may create a
pinching or pulling hazard to the operator’s hand.
