Adjusting Dial-A-Height

The Dial-A-Height control (Fig. 13) is used to limit
the downward travel of attachments other than
mowers. For example, use the Dial–a–Height to hold
the blade or snowthrower above a gravel drive to
prevent picking up stones or hold the tiller at a
selected depth. For mowing, turn the Dial–a–Height
fully conterclockwise until the knob contacts the
plastic thread cap, so the mower can move through its
full range of travel. Use the mower's height control
to set cutting height. To use the Dial–a–height:
1. Raise the attachment lift lever: Refer to Raising
Attachments. In the raised position the
Dial-A-Height knob (Fig. 13) can be rotated to
change the stop location. Turn right to raise and
left to lower the height of the attachment.

Positioning the Seat

The seat can move forward and backward. Position
the seat where you have the best control of the
machine and are most comfortable.
1. Raise the seat and loosen the adjustment knobs
(Fig. 14).
