2. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
4. Check tire pressure of all four tires. If needed, adjust to
13 psi (90 kPa)
5. Lower the mower to the 3 inch (76 mm) height-of-cut
position.

where they are attached to the mower.
