The

should
only
be
used
while
mowing
or transporting
on relatively
smooth,
straight
surfaces.
Other
conditions
such as trimming
at slow speeds
may cause
the cruise
control
to disengage.

or while
trimmimg
or turning.

TO ADJUST
MOWER
CUTTING
HEIGHT
The position of the attachment
lift indicator
(W) determines
the cutting height.
, Adjust
mower to the desired
cutting
height
by pressing
the electric
lift switch
(A) in
either
the up or down direction.
,
Slide
pointer
tab
(T) to desired
cutting
height as a reminder
for next time you mow.
CAUTION:
Continuing
to press the electric
lift switch
after the mower deck has reached
the minimum
or maximum
position may result
in damage
to the electric
lift mechanism
.The
electric
lift mechanism
is equipped
with
a
thermal
protection
system.
If the system
overheats
or fails to operate,
allow the system
to cool before
attempting
to operate
again.
The cutting
height
range is approximately
1" 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 condi-
tions,
height
of grass
and
types
of grass
being mowed.
, The average
lawn should be cut to approxi-
mately 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 ADJUST
GAUGE
WHEELS

wheels
are properly
adjusted
when
they are slightly
off the ground
when
mower
is at the desired
cutting
height
in operating

Gauge
wheels
then keep the deck
in proper
position
to help prevent
scalping
in most terrain
conditions.
NOTE:
Adjust
gauge
wheels
with tractor
on
a flat level surface.
1. Adjust
mower
to desired
cutting
height
(See "TO ADJUST
MOWER
CUTTING
HEIGHT"
in this section
of manual).
2.
With mowerin
desired
height
of cut posi-
tion, gauge wheels
should
be assembled
so they are slightly
off the ground.
Install
gauge wheel
in appropriate
hole. Tighten
securely.
3.
Repeat
for all, installing
gauge
wheel
in
same
adjustment
hole.
