The cutting height of the mower can be set in two
different ways; FULL FLOAT position where the

SUSPENDED position where the deck hangs
from the frame of the rider. The suspended
position is normally used for cutting rough
uneven ground.
To set the cutting deck in the full float position,
set the wheel height adjusters in the desired
cutting height as indicated in figure 13. Set height

To set the cutting deck in the suspended position,
set the height of cut stop in the desired cutting
height and then set the deck wheel so they just
