MOTION CONTROL LEVER FRICTION
ADJUSTMENT
The motion control levers should be tight when moving in
and out of their neutral locked positions. If the levers are
loose, the lever friction should be adjusted.
To adjust friction:
Loosen the outside nut (C, Figure 21a) securing the
motion control lever (A) to the control bracket weldment
(B). Tighten the inner nut (D) against the bellville washer
(E) to 10 ft-lbs. Tighten the outside nut against the inside
nut, without allowing the inside nut to turn.
Note: The control bracket weldment is located beneath
the fender next to the operator's seat.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The cutting height adjustment lever controls the mower
cutting height. The cutting height is adjustable between
1-1/2" (3,8 cm) and 4" (10,1 cm).
To adjust cutting height:
Move the adjustment lever (A, Figure 22) slightly
upwards and outwards, then raise or lower the lever to
the desired height notch.
Depress the foot assist pedal (B) to assist in raising or
lowering the mower deck.

Turn unit are not intended to ride on the ground. DO
