3.6 CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH ________________________________________________________________
If the cruise control does not disengage when brake pedal is
depressed, cruise control switch must be adjusted.

2. Adjust switch (G) so contacts are closed with the brake
disengaged and open as soon as the brake pedal is pressed.
3. Tighten hardware to secure switch and recheck switch
operation.

3.7 MOW SPEED _____________________________________________________________________________
Cutting quality is better at speeds well below the transport speed of
the mower. An initial mow speed of seven to eight mph is set at the
factory and should be satisfactory for most cutting conditions. Local
turf conditions however may respond better to a different speed.
To set mow speed, loosen jam nut (R), and adjust stop screw up to
reduce speed, down to increase speed. Tighten nut to hold
adjustment in place.

3.8 WEIGHT TRANSFER_______________________________________________________________________
1. Adjusting weight transfer knob affects lowering time of the lift
arms and also affects ground pressure at each tire.
2. Loosen thin knob (J), and adjust large knob (K) to increase or
decrease cutting unit weight. Knob adjusts all three mowers
simultaneously.
a. Increasing cutting unit weight allows mowers to follow
contours of ground better and reduces mower ground
pressure.
b. Decreasing cutting unit weight increases mower weight,
which increases traction on slopes.
c. Once desired ground pressure has been obtained, tighten
thin knob (J).
