The 20 amp primary fuse is located on the left
hand side of the machine. It is accessed by tilting
the seat forward. The fuse is a flat pin type used
in automobiles.

Cutting Height Lever

To set the desired deck cutting height, press the
release button and move the lever forward to the
cutting height pin. See Before Starting in the
Operation section to change the cutting height.
The cutting height range is from 1-1/2" (38 mm)
to 4" (102 mm) in 1/2" (13 mm) increments. The
heights are measured from the ground up to the
blade tip with the engine not running.
WARNING! Do not make adjustments
unless the engine is stopped and the park
brake is activated.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Always raise the
deck to the highest position for transport.

Fuel Shut Off Valve

The fuel shut off valve is located at the left rear of
the seat. The valve is off when the handle tab is
turned perpendicular to the fuel line.

air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air
pressure for the rear tires is 15 psi (1 bar).

unit to an open, unobstructed area such as an
empty parking lot or open field.
3. Back the tracking bolt out until flush with nut.

the full forward position on both motion control
levers. Gradually turn in the tracking bolt on
the right hand side until the unit noticeably
starts drifting right.
6. Drive forward at full throttle with both motion
control levers in the full forward position.
