Attachment Lift Control Lever
When using the mower deck, lift the deck off the ground
while transporting to and from the job site. DO NOT cut
with the mower in the raised, transport position.

push the lever forward. To raise an attachment: pull the
lever back and lock it in the raised position.
The attachment lift lever has three positions The back
position is for transporting to and from the work site. The
middle notch provides maximum traction when mowing
on hills. The forward position provides the most down-
ward pressure giving the best cut.
