WARNING: The operation of any riding mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the
operator’s eyes, causing severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower, or
performing any adjustments or repairs on it.
Deck Lift Lever
This lever is located on the left
fender of the vehicle and adjacent to
the shift lever. It is used to change
the height of the cutting deck. Move
the lever to the right and slide it to
the position desired. Make sure it is
firmly placed in the notch intended.
Follow the label on the unit
indicating the cutting height
positions.
Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located on the
right front side of the unit adjacent to
the brake pedal. Ground speed is
controlled by depressing this pedal
— the further down the pedal is
depressed, the faster the vehicle will
move. The pedal returns to its
original position when not
depressed. For further details, see
next section.
