SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MOWER.
MOWER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
• Adjust while mower is not running.

ground to the blade tip without the engine running.
• Rotate height adjust crank handles (HTN) in a clockwise direction to lift the mower deck.
A counter-clockwise direction is used to lower the mower deck.
• Make sure the height adjustment is the same at side crank handles. For best results, see
"SUGGESTED PRACTICE" section. Graduated scales are for reference only, not the
actual cutter height.
• Place crank handle in a retracted position to maintain height adjustment.
STARTING TO MOW

• Double check vehicle to mower attachment.
• Start mower engine properly.
• Slowly, activate the blade engage lever (6008) by rotating it forward and left until the
lever locks into place.
• Carefully mount tow vehicle and start mowing slowly.
