Pushing the Tractor by Hand

1. Disengage the PTO and turn the engine off.
2. Pull the transmission release (B, Figure 4) back
approximately 2-1/2" (6 cm) to lock into released
position.
3. The tractor can now be pushed by hand.
DO NOT TOW TRACTOR
Towing the unit will cause transmission dam-
age. • Do not use another vehicle to push or
pull this unit. • Do not actuate the transmis-
sion release valve lever while the engine is
running.

Adjusting Mower Cutting Height

The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between
approximately 1" and 3-5/8" (2,5-9,2cm).
Electric Height of Cut Models: The cutting height
adjustment switch (D, Figure 5) controls the mower cut-
ting height. This same switch also controls the spout
rotator motor when a snowthrower is installed. The
arrows on the switch correspond to the direction of
adjustment (UP arrow raises cutting height, RIGHT arrow
rotates the spout right, etc). When the adjustment indi-
cator has reached the end of its travel, release the
switch; holding the switch down will damage the motor
Manual Lift Models: The cutting height adjustment knob
(B, Figure 5) controls the mower cutting height. Turn the
knob clockwise to raise the deck and counterclockwise to
lower it.
