R. DECK HEIGHT INDEX
The deck height index consists of several holes located on the left of the foot
platform. Each hole corresponds to a 1/4" change in the deck height position ranging
from 1" at the lowest notch to 5" at the highest notch.
S. DECK LIFT PEDAL
The deck lift pedal is located on the left front corner of the foot platform, and is
used to raise and lower the mowing deck. To raise the mowing deck to the transport
position, push the pedal all the way forward until the deck transportation lock snaps
into position. To remove the deck from the transport position push forward on the
deck lift pedal and pull up on the deck lock rod. To position the deck push the pedal
all the way forward, remove the clevis pin, reinsert it in the desired cutting height
and slowly release pressure on the pedal until you reach the clevis pin.
T. TRANSPORT LOCK (IF EQUIPPED)
The transport lock is located on the left side of the
operator's seat and is used to lock the deck in the
transport position. Press down on the deck lift pedal,
lift the transport lock rod up off the pressure plate and
rotate counterclockwise until the free end drops into the
open hole to lock the deck. To release the deck, reverse
the process.
U. TRANSMISSION OIL EXPANSION RESERVOIR (NOT SHOWN,
IF EQUIPPED)
1. Parker Transmission (if equipped) - The 500 series is equipped with
an integrated transmission oil expansion reservoir on both the LH and
RH transmission assemblies. The 700 and 900 series are equipped with a
transmission oil expansion reservoir located under the seat, connected by hoses
to the RH and LH transmission assemblies. The function of the reservoir is to
hold the natural expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission
warms up during operation. DO NOT FILL THE RESERVOIR. Under normal
operating conditions, no oil should be added to the reservoir. The COLD oil
level should be approximately 1/4" above the bottom of the reservoir on 700
and 900 models and 1/8" up the dipstick on 500 models. See the Product
Care section of this manual for more information on the transmission oil
expansion reservoirs.
2. Hydro-Gear Transmission (if equipped) - The transmission oil expansion
reservoirs are connected by hoses to the RH and LH transmission assemblies
and are located behind the operator's seat, to the right and left of the engine.
The function of the reservoirs are to hold the natural expansion of transmission
oil that occurs as the transmission warms up during operation. DO NOT FILL THE
RESERVOIR. Under normal operating conditions, no oil should be added to the
reservoir. The COLD oil level should be at the "FULL COLD" line.
NOTE: Prior to the initial operation of the mower, the oil level in the reservoir(s)
may be slightly higher than the maximum due to air in the oil lines. Operation of
the mower will eventually purge the air from the lines and the oil level will settle to
the maximum.
OPERATION
V. STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT LEVER
The steering column adjustment lever is located on the right side of the steering
column. To adjust the column pull up on the steering column adjustment lever and
move the steering column up into the desired position. Release the steering column
adjustment lever to secure the steering column in the desired position.
W. CUP HOLDER
The cup holder is located between the fuel tank and the control panel to the right of
the seat.
X. ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)
ROPS Position
Refer to Figure 23 and the following descriptions and uses for the three (3) positions
for the ROPS.
• TRANSPORT: Only to be used when transporting the mower or when they need
to be momentarily folded-down to avoid contact with items such as tree limbs,
clothes lines, guy wires, utility poles, buildings, etc.
• TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER: Allows for the ROPS to be lowered for situations
outlined for the TRANSPORT position when the mower is equipped with a bagger.
• OPERATION: The ROPS should always be in this position when operating
unless the situations outlined in the TRANSPORT and TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER
descriptions arise.
1. To change the position of the ROPS, pull slightly up/push forward on the upper
ROPS to relieve any tension on the locking pin (a) and rotate the locking pin
(a) from the LOCKED (b) position into the ADJUSTMENT (c) position. Repeat the
procedure for the locking pin on the opposite side (Figure 24).
