TO USE CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control feature can be used for
forward travel only.
SYSTEM
CHARACTERISTICS
The
cruise
control
should
only
be
used
while
mowing
or transporting
on relatively
smooth,
straight
surfaces.
Other
conditions
such as trimming
at slow speeds
may cause
the cruise
control
to disengage.
Do not use
the cruise
control
on slopes,
rough
tertian
or while trimmimg
or turning.
• With forward
drive pedal
(K) depressed
to
desired
speed,
pull cruise control
lever (J)
up and hold while
lifting your foot off the
pedal,
then release
the lever.
To disengage
the cruise control,
depress
the
brake
pedal
or tap on forward
drive
pedal.
TO ADJUST
MOWER
CUTTING
HEIGHT
The position
of the attachment
lift lever (A)
determines
the cutting
height.
For best cutting
performance,
grass over
6" (152,4
mm) in height
should
be mowed
twice.
Make the first cut relatively
high; the
second
to desired
height.
TO ADJUST
GAUGE WHEELS
Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when
they are slightly offthe ground when mower
is at the desired cutting height in operating
position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck
in proper position to help prevent scalping
in most terrain conditions.
NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on
a flat level surface.
1. Adjust mower to desired cutting height
(See "TO ADJUST
MOWER CUTTING
HEIGHT" in this section of manual).
2. With mower in desired height of cut posi-
tion, gauge wheels should be assembled
so they are slightly offthe ground. Insta!l
gauge wheel in appropriate hole. Tighten
securely.
3. Repeat for all, installing gauge wheel in
same adjustment
hole.

9/16"
• Put attachment
lift lever in desired
cutting
height
slot.
The cutting
height
range is approximately
1
to 4" (25,4 to 101,6
mm).
The
heights
are
measured
from the ground
to the blade tip
with the engine
not running.
These
heights
are approximate
and may vary
depending
upon
soil
conditions,
height
of grass
and
types
of grass
being
mowed.
• The average
lawn should be cutto approxi-
mately
2-1/2"
(63,5
mm) during
the cool
season
and to over 3" (76,2 mm) during
hot months.
For healthier
and better look-
ing lawns,
mow often and after moderate
growth.
TO OPERATE
MOWER
Your tractor
is equipped
with
an operator
presence
sensing
switch.
Any
attempt
by the operator
to leave
the seat with the
engine
running
and the attachment
clutch
engaged
will shut off the engine.
You must
remain
fully and centrally
positioned
in the
seat to prevent
the engine from hesitating
or
cutting
off when
operating
your
equipment
on rough,
rolling
terrain
or hills.
1.
Select
desired
height
of cut with attach-
ment lift lever.
2.
Start mower
blades
by engaging
attach-
ment clutch
control.
