ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT

  WARNING

Never adjust cutting height while the mow-

er is moving.  Before adjusting cutting 

height or servicing, move the Forward 

Speed Control (FSC) into the NEUTRAL-

PARK position, engage the parking brake, 

and disengage the blade clutch (PTO).  

Tractor should not be moving while adjust-

ing cutting height.

Cutting height is adjusted from operator’s seat 

using the deck lift pedal to assist in raising the 

deck while adjusting the cutting height hitch pin.

1.  Disengage PTO and stop tractor.

2.  Push down on deck lift pedal until it latches in 

the full up (transport) position.

3.  Select the desired cutting height by moving 

the hitch pin to the location shown on the 

cutting height decal.

4.  Push down on the lift pedal and lift up on the 

cutting height release lever.  Slowly release 

the pedal while lifting the lever until the deck is 

in the selected cutting height position.
