Deck Lift Lever
The deck lift lever is used to change the height of the cutting deck. To use,
move the lever to the left, then place it in one of the six notches best suited
for your application.
To set the cutting height of the deck you will also have to adjust the deck
wheels so that they are between 1/4-inch and ½-inch above the ground when
the tractor is on a smooth, flat surface such as a driveway, refer to Deck
Levelling instructions on page 14.
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not
designed to support the weight of the cutting deck.

Conveniently located on the tractor's dash panel, the cargo net can be used to store personal items while operating
the lawn tractor.
CupHolder
The tractor's cup holder is located on the fender to the left of the seat, just to the rear of the parking brake lever.
The safety interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the parking brake is engaged,
and the PTO lever is in the "Blades Stop" position. If this
system should ever malfunction, do not operate the
tractor, immediately contact a Troy-Bilt dealer.
The safety interlock system will automatically shut off
the engine if the operator leaves the seat before
engaging the parking brake.

the engine if the operator leaves the tractor's seat with
the PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the ON position,

the engine if the PTO (Blade Engage) Lever is moved
into the engaged (ON) position with the drive pedal in
