ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
WARNING
The engine must be stopped before ad-
justing cutting height. Disengage the blade
clutch (PTO), stop the engine, and remove
the ignition key. Wait for all move ment to
stop before getting off the seat.
Cutting height is adjusted by positioning the four (4)
retainer hitch pins in a series of seven vertical holes
on the deck support pins. Lift handles have been
pro vided on each end of the deck to assist in raising
the deck while positioning the hitch pins. Cutting
heights range from 1 in. (25 mm) [top holes] to
4 in. (102 mm) [bottom holes] in 1/2 in. (13 mm)
increments.

TRANSAXLE LOCKOUT
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOW this mower faster than
2 mph (3.2 km/h) with the transmission lockout en-
gaged. Towing can produce excessive internal
pressure and damage the transaxle(s).
To move the mower with the engine NOT running
(dead battery, maintenance, etc.), the transaxles
need to be unlocked (released).
1. Raise the body.
2. Pull up on each transaxle lockout arm and move
toward the center of the machine to engage the
step that holds the arm in the UP (unlocked)
position.
3. The mower will “freewheel” with the arms in the
LOCKOUT position. The levers must be in the
highest position to completely unlock the trans-
missions.

4. After moving the mower, release the arms, plac-
ing them in the normal OPERATING position.
The transmission arm ends should be com-
pletely retracted against the chassis, otherwise
operation of the transmission maybe erratic.
