Mowing Height Adjustment

The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 36) controls the
mower cutting height. The cutting height is adjustable between
1-3/4" (4,4 cm) and 5" (12,7 cm) in 1/4" (0,64 cm) increments.

1. Depress the deck lift foot pedal (B) until it locks into the 5"
(12,7 cm) position.
2. Place the cutting height adjustment pin in the desired cutting
height.
3. Depress the deck lift foot pedal then push the lock lever (C)
towards the right to release the lock.
4. Release the deck lift foot pedal until it comes to rest against
the cutting height adjustment pin.

Foot Pedal Adjustment

The deck lift foot pedal can be adjusted to accommodate the
operator's height for optimal comfort.

180 degrees.
3. Reinstall the pedal mount hardware and tighten securely.
4. Reinstall the foot pedal on the pedal mount tab in the proper
orientation as shown in Figure 37.

Neutral Adjustment

If the tractor "creeps" while the ground speed control levers are
locked in the NEUTRAL, then it may be necessary to adjust the
linkage rod.
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such
as a concrete floor.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off
the engine.
2. There are three nuts (B, Figure 38) on the linkage rod. The
first two are to be used together to run the rod and the third
(towards the front of the machine) is used to lock the rod in
place. Loosen the jam nut that locks against the ball joint (C)
and turn the linkage rod (A) to adjust.

• If the machine creeps forward, turn the rod clockwise
(while standing at the rear of the machine, facing
forward);
