FIGURE 14.
I. Cutting Controls. The cutting controls consist
of the height of cut stop and the wheel height
adjusters.
Height of Cut Stop. See figure 15. Lift the stop
and set it at the desired cutting height.
FIGURE 15.
Wheel Height Adjuster. See figure 16. Move the
lever towards the wheel and set it in the desired
cutting height.
FIGURE 16.
The cutting height of the mower can be set in two
different ways: FULL FLOAT position where the
deck follows the contour of the ground, and the
SUSPENDED position where the deck hangs from
the frame of the rider. The suspended position is
normally used for cutting rough uneven ground.
To set the cutting deck in the full float position,
set the wheel height adjusters in the desired cut¬
ting height as indicated in figure 15. Set height of
cut stop all the way forward. See figure 15.
To set the cutting deck in the suspended position,
set the height of cut stop in the desired cutting
height and then set the deck wheels so they just
clear the ground.
