FEATURES
B. DRIVE CONTROL LEVERS
The RH (Right Hand) and LH (Left Hand) drive control levers are located on each side of the control panel.
Each drive control lever controls the respective transmission. Consequently, these levers control all of the
mowers movement. Driving and steering using these control levers is quite different from conventional
mowers and will take practice to master. Refer to Practice Operation section for further instructions.
C. PARKING BRAKE LEVER
The parking brake lever is located to the left of the control panel. Pull the parking
brake lever back to engage the brake (ON position " ") or push the parking brake lever
forward to disengage the brake (OFF position " ").
IMPORTANT: The parking brake on mowers with a 36 inch mowing deck uses a brake
wedge that may require adjustment as the rear wheel tire tread wears. Refer to
Parking Brake Check/Adjustment - 36 Inch Deck Only on page 19.
D. SUSPENSION LEVER (IF EQUIPPED)
Used to select suspension firmness of the operator's platform.

E. DECK LIFT HANDLE
The deck lift handle is located on the right side of the mower, and is used to raise and lower the mower
deck.
Depress the button on the end of the handle and push downward to lower the deck, or pull upward to raise the
deck. When the desired height is attained, secure the pin in the desired index hole and release the button on the
handle.
NOTE: Make certain the deck is secured and the pin is fully inserted into the deck height index. The pin is
keyed to help keep it in place and fits into the slotted holes on the deck height index.
NOTE: The deck lift handle must always be above the pin, never hang the deck lift handle from the pin
when mowing.
F. DECK HEIGHT INDEX
The deck height index consists of several holes located on the right of the mower. Each hole corresponds
to a 1⁄4 inch (6.4 mm) change in the deck height position ranging from 1 ½ inch (38.1 mm) at the lowest
setting to 4 ½ inch (114.3 mm) at the highest setting. Insert the connected pin to select the desired deck
height.
G. TRANSPORT LOCK (NOT SHOWN)
The transport lock is the highest setting on the deck height index, and is used to lock the deck into the transport
position. Use the deck lift handle to engage or disengage the transport lock.
NOTE: Do not mow with the deck in the transport position.
NOTE: Mowers with 48, 54 or 60 inch Mowing Decks - Do not mow with the deck in the transport position.
NOTE: Mowers with 36 inch Mowing Decks - The 4 ½ inch (114.3 mm) mowing deck height adjustment is used
as the transport position and as the highest deck height for mowing.
