Adjusting the Height of Cut

The machine is equipped with a foot pedal deck lift
system. The operator can use the foot pedal to lift
the deck briefly to avoid obstacles or lock the deck in
the highest height-of-cut or transport position. The
operator can use the height of cut lever with the foot
pedal to lock the deck in a specific cutting height.
Using the Foot Pedal Deck Lift System
Press the pedal down to raise the deck; continue to
press the pedal until the deck is locked in the transport
position Figure 23. Push on the deck lift pedal with
your foot and raise the height-of-cut lever slightly to
disengage the transport lock.
