A. Deck Height Index
The deck height index consists of six index notches
located on the front/right of the seat box frame. Each
notch corresponds to a 1/2 inch change in the deck height
position ranging from 1-1/2 inches at the lowest notch to 4
inches at the highest notch.
B. Deck Lift Handle
The deck lift handle is located on the front/right of the seat
box frame, and is used to raise and lower the mower deck.
Pull the handle to the left out of the index notch and push
downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise the
deck. When the desired height is attained, move the lift
handle to the right until fully in the index notch.
C. RH and LH Drive Control Levers
The RH and LH control levers are located on each side of
the operator's seat. These hinged levers pivot outward
to open space to permit the operator to either sit in the
tractor seat, or to dismount the tractor. The levers must be
fully opened out and in the neutral position to start the
tractor engine.
Each lever controls the respective RHor LH transmission.
Consequently, these levers control all of the movements
of the tractor. Driving and steering utilizing these control
levers is quite different from conventional tractors, and
will take some practice to master. Refer to "Operation" for
instructions on using the control levers.
