TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT (See
Fig. 9)
The position of the attachment lift lever determines the
cutting height.
• Grasp lift lever,
• Press plunger with thumb and move lever to desired
position.
The cutting height range is approximately 1-1/2 to 4”. The
heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with
the engine not running. These heights are approximate and
may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of grass
and types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to approxim.ifteiy 2-1 2
inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches
during hot months. For healthier and better looking
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth,
• For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in
height should be mowed twice. Make the first cut
relatively high: the second to desired height.
TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 10)
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing
switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with
the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will
shut off the engine,

Select desired height of cut,
• Lower mower with attachment lift control.
• Start mower blades by engaging attacnment clutcn
control.
• TO STOP MOWER BLADES - disengage attachment
clutch control.
A
CAUTION: Do not operate the mower
without either the entire grass catcher,
on mowers so equipped, or the dis­
charge guard in place.
