ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
Cutting height is adjusted by positioning the four re-
tainer hitch pins in a series of seven vertical holes on
the deck support pins. Lift handles have been pro-
vided 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) incre-
ments.

TRANSMISSION LOCKOUT
To move the mower with the engine NOT running
(dead battery, maintenance, etc.), the hydrostatic
transmissions are unlocked (released).
1. Raise the front body.
2. Lift the transmission lockout lever on both the
RH and LH transmissions and secure into place
with the locking cam.
3. The mower will “freewheel” with the levers 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 locking
cam, placing the lever DOWN in the normal
OPERATING position. Make sure the transmis-
sion lockout plunger on the side of the trans-
mission case (activated by the lockout lever) is
completely released, otherwise the transmis-
sion operation will be erratic.

justing cutting height. Disengage the
blade clutch (PTO), stop the engine, and

ment to stop before getting off the seat.
