The stop lever allows you to regu­

The headlamps are operated by
pulling out the light switch located
on the dash board. The headlamps
will only operate when the traction
motor is running. (See figure 7.)
Ammeter
The ammeter registers the rate of
battery charge. It only registers
when the charger is plugged in and
the switch is in the ON position.
(See figure 7.)
Charger Switch
This switch turns on the charger
to recharge the batteries. The cord
for the charger is located under
the hood. Details for charging the
batteries is in the Maintenance
Section of this handbook.. (See
figure 7.)
Lift Lever
The lift lever is used to raise the
cutting deck. (See figure 11.)
Cutting Controis
The cutting controls consist of the
height of cut stop and the wheel
height adjusters.
Height of Cut Stop
Lift the stop and set it at the de­
sired cuting height. (See figure 11
Wheei Height Adjusters
Move the lever towards the wheel
and set it in the desired cutting
height. (See figure 12.)
There are six different cutting
heights. The cutting height can be
set in two different ways; FULL
FLOAT position where the deck
follows the contour of the ground,
and 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. Set the height of cut stop
in the low position. (See figure 11.)
To set the cutting deck in the sus­
pended position, set the height of
cut stop in the desired cutting
height and then set the deck wheels
so they just clear the ground. (See
figure 12.)
