TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT
(See Fig. 8)
The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the
cutting height.
A
• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.
The cutting height range is ap prox i mate ly 1" to 4". 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 cut to approximately
2-1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" during hot
months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow
often and after moderate growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height
should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively
high; the second to de sired height.
TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 9)
Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly
off the 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.
• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD -
JUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT" in the Operation
sec tion of this manual).
• With mower in desired height of cut po si tion, gauge
wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off
the ground. In stall gauge wheel in appropriate hole as
shown and tighten se cure ly.
• Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel in same
adjustment hole.

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 hesitat-
ing or cutting off when operating your equipment on rough,
rolling terrain or hills.
• Select desired height of cut (see "TO ADJUST MOWER
CUTTING HEIGHT")
• Start mower blades by engaging at tach ment clutch
control.
TO STOP MOWER BLADES
Disengage at tach ment clutch con trol.
CAUTION:
without either the en tire grass catcher, on
mowers so equipped, or the deflector shield
(S) in place (See Fig. 10).
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off
the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON"
position.
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the
attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary.
