Cutting height adjustment
The cutting height adjust (A) controls the mower deck cutting
height. The cutting height is infinitely adjustable between
2.5 and 9 cm (1" and 3-5/8").
Turn the knob clockwise to raise the deck and
counterclockwise to lower it.
The cutting height adjust DOES NOT raise the
mower deck for transport. Use the mower deck
lift lever (B) to raise the mower deck when
travelling to and from the mowing area, and whenever
the mower deck is not in use.

Ignition switch
The ignition switch (A) starts and stops the engine; it
has three positions:
Off—Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
Run—Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
Start—Cranks the engine for starting.
Pulling the choke control (B) out closes the choke for cold
starting. (A warm engine may not require choking.)
The operator must be firmly seated for the engine
to start.
Never leave the ignition switch in the Run position
with the engine stopped; this drains the battery.
