NOTICE
When cutting undulating areas, lower cutting heights
may cause scalping. Adjust height accordingly to
prevent turf damage.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, lower deck until it is resting
completely on the front casters and rear roller. This will
prevent it from accidentally lowering while making
adjustments. Disengage all drives, engage parking
brake, stop engine, and remove ignition key.
