Setting the Reel Speed

To achieve a consistent, high quality of cut and a uniform
after cut appearance, it is important that you set the reel speed
controls (located under the seat) correctly. Adjust the reel
speed controls as follows:
1. Select the height of cut at which the cutting units are
set.
2. Choose the desired ground speed best suited for
conditions.
3. Use the graph on the reel speed chart decal
to determine the proper reel speed setting.
