Section 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
3.3  CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 

1. 

Adjust cutting height, as desired, to any position, 

using deck lift lever. The release latch should be 
pulled up when lowering the deck. When raising the 
deck, the release latch does not have to be pulled 
up. IMPORTANT: There is a foot assist pedal 
located to the right front side of the footrest. Always 
use this assist pedal to raise or lower the deck to the 
desired cutting height. See Figure 3.9 & 3.10. 

2. 

If a specific deck height is desired each time the 

machine is used, insert the stop pin to desired 
cutting height.  See Figure 3.11. 

NOTE: 

The engine does not have to be running to adjust 

cutting height.
