Important: Do not continue to hold the pedal
down after the mower deck has been fully raised or
lowered. Doing so will damage the hydraulic system.
Note: To lock the mower deck in a raised position, raise the
deck past the 15 cm (6 inch) position, remove the height of cut
stop pin (refer to Adjusting the Height-of-Cut), and place the
pin in the 15 cm (6 inch) height-of-cut position (Figure 22).
Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
The power take off (PTO) switch starts and stops the mower
blades and some powered attachments.
1. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to warm up 5 to
10 minutes before engaging the PTO.
2. While seated in the seat, release the pressure on the
traction control levers and place them in neutral.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut is adjusted from 2.5 to 15.8 cm (1 to
6 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by relocating the
stop pin into different hole locations.
1. With the engine running, pull back on the deck lift
lever until the mower deck is fully raised and release
the lever immediately (Figure 22).
2. To adjust, rotate the stop pin until the roll pin in it
lines up with the slots in the holes in the height-of-cut
bracket and remove it (Figure 22).
3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut bracket corresponding
to the height-of-cut desired, insert the pin, and rotate it
down to lock it in place (Figure 22).
Note: There are four rows of hole positions (Figure
22). The top row gives you the height of cut listed
above the pin. The second row down gives you the
height listed plus 6 mm (1/4 inch). The third row
down gives you the height listed plus 12 mm (1/2 inch).
The bottom row gives you the height listed plus 18 mm
(3/4 inch). For the 15.8 cm (6 inch) position there is
only one hole, located in the second row. This does not
add 6 mm (1/4 inch) to the 15.8 cm (6 inch) position.
