Cylinder Stops
The cylinder stops ensure the same cutting height after
raising the deck to clear an obstacle. The stops are
stored on a post under the operator’s right leg. The stops
are supplied in two (2) sizes. The thinner stops change
the cutting height by 1/4" (.64 cm). The thicker stops
change the cutting height by 1/2" (1.27 cm).
1. Remove the cylinder stops from the post and snap
onto the lift cylinder rod.
2. Push the lift lever forward until the cylinder rests
against the cylinder stops.

This valve is used to control the flow of
fuel leaving the fuel tanks. The valve
must be open for the engine to operate.

fuel from, right or left.
