•
Use slow and steady movement of the
control levers.
•
Use caution when making turns.
•
Slow the machine down before making
sharp turns.
IMPORTANT: To begin movement (forward
or backward) the operator must be in the
seat, the brake lever must be disengaged
(pushed down) before the motion control
levers can be moved in or the engine will
stop.
When the motion control levers are positioned
fully outward (apart) in the T-slot, the drive
system is in the neutral lock position (Figure 13).
When the motion control levers are moved
directly inward (together) the drive system is in
the neutral operate position.
DRIVING FORWARD
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Move motion control levers to neutral
operate position.
3. To move forward in a straight line, move
both levers forward with equal pressure.
To turn left or right, pull the motion control lever
back toward neutral in the desired turn direction.
The machine will move faster the farther the
motion control levers are moved from the
neutral position.
4. To stop, position both motion control levers
in the neutral operate position.
DRIVING IN REVERSE
1. Move the motion control levers to the
neutral operate position.
2. To move rearward in a straight line, slowly
move both levers rearward with equal
pressure.
To turn left or right, release pressure on the
motion control lever toward the desired turn
direction.
3. To stop, position both motion control levers
in the neutral operate position.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
The cutting height of the mower deck is
adjusted from 1.0 to 5.5 inches (2.5 cm to 14.0
cm) in 1/4 inch (6.4 cm) increments.
1. Stop the machine and move the motion
control levers to the neutral position.
2. Disengage the PTO.
3. Raise and lock the deck to the 5-1/2 inch
(14 cm) transport position.
The deck is raised by pushing the foot
operated deck lift pedal forward. The pedal
is located at the front right corner of the floor
pan.
Note: When changing the cutting height
positions, always come to a complete
stop and disengage the PTO.
4. Insert the height adjustment pin into the
hole corresponding to the desired cutting
height.
See the decal on the side of the deck lift
plate for cut heights.
5. Push the deck lift pedal, hold back the
transport pawl handle and allow the deck to
lower to the cutting height.
ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SCALP ROLLERS
It is recommended to change the anti-scalp
roller position, when the height of cut has
changed.
1. Stop the machine and move the motion
control levers outward to the neutral locked
position.
2. Disengage the PTO.
3. Engage the park brake.
