20 DR 46" LAWN MOWER DECK Safety & Operating Instructions
Stopping the Engine
1. Disengage the lawn deck blades by pushing the Blade (Lawn Deck) Control
Lever forward to the OFF (DISENGAGED) position.
2. Move the Shift Lever to the N (Neutral) position.
3. Move the Throttle Control to the IDLE position.
4. Turn the Key to the OFF position and remove it for safety.
Note: If your machine is equipped with a fuel shut-off valve, close it when
transporting or storing the mower.
Adjusting the Cutting Height
You can adjust the cutting height of the mower in 1/4" and 1/2" increments by moving the
spacer disks on the caster wheels.
To lower the cutting height, move one or more of the spacers to above the spindle
bracket (see Figure 4 on Page 10). Repeat for both sides.
To raise the cutting height, move one or more of the spacers to below the spindle
bracket (see Figure 4 on Page 10). Repeat for both sides.
Note 1: If your DR ALL-TERRAIN FIELD and BRUSH MOWER has 16" wheels (8.0
HP models and some older models); the maximum number of 1/2" spacers that
you can use below the caster wheel spindle bracket is four (4). Trying to raise the
cutting height by adding more than four (4) 1/2" spacers below the caster wheel
spindle bracket will result in an uneven cut. You may, however, adjust the cutting
height down by adding more spacers above the caster wheel spindle bracket.
Note 2: To move the spacers, remove the 1/4"-20 Bolt & Nut, slide the spacers and
bracket off the Caster Wheel Spindle and reposition them. When
reassembling the wheel, be sure the Caster Spindle is on the outside of the
wheel when the wheel is pointing back toward the mower deck (Figure 4 on
Page 10).
WARNING! Always disengage the blades, stop the engine and disconnect
the spark plug(s) wire(s) before adjusting the cutting height.
