Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, move the motion-control levers to
neutral and outward to the park position, disengage the

WARNING
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the mower while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and move the

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

Height-of-cut is controlled by the lever located to the right of
the operating position (Figure 20).
1. Pull up and inward on the lever to move it to the
desired cutting position.
2. Once at the desired cutting position, slowly lower the
lever until it engages the position.
The transport position is the highest height-of-cut position or
cutting height 115 mm (4.5 inches) as shown in Figure 20.

Adjusting the Anti-scalp
Rollers
Whenever you change the height-of-cut, it is recommended
to adjust the height of the anti-scalp rollers.
Note: Adjust the anti-scalp rollers so the rollers do not touch
the ground in normal, flat mowing areas.
1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the
motion-control levers to the neutral-lock position and
set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers as shown in Figure 21 to
match the closest height-of-cut position.
