Adjusting Mower Cutting Height
The cutting height is adjustable between 1.0" and 4.0" (2,5
and 10,2 cm).
The cutting height adjustment switch (A, Figure 8) controls
the mower cutting height. This same switch also controls
the spout rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed.
The arrows on the switch correspond to the direction of
adjustment (UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow
rotates the spout right, etc). When the adjustment indicator
has reached the end of its travel, release the switch; holding
the switch down will damage the motor.

The maximum vertical drawbar force is 222 Newton. This
equates to a 396 Ibs (180 kg) trailer on a 10 degree hill.
Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A,
Figure 9) and clip (B).

Seat Adjustment
Pitch Adjustment
The pitch of the seat can be adjusted to one of three
positions. To adjust, remove the carriage bolts, spacers,
washers, and nuts (A, Figure 10) from the hinge and
reinstall them in the desired holes.
Seat Slide Adjustment
The seat can also be adjusted forward and back. Move
the lever (B, Figure 10), position the seat as desired, and
release the lever to lock the seat into position.
Seat Spring Adjustment
The seat springs (C, Figure 10) can be adjusted to
provide a softer or firmer ride. Tilt the seat forward and
slide the spring assembly forward for a softer ride, and
back for a firmer ride.
