OPERATION
Press your foot forward and fully depress the parking
brake with your toes.
Release the brake pedal.
To release the parking brake:
depress and release the
brake pedal.
WARNING:
Never leave the mower unattended when the motor is
running or with the key in the power switch. Verify that
the parking brake is set and the key has been removed.
Failure to set the parking brake could cause the mower
to move, and leaving the key could allow unauthorized
use that could result in serious personal injury.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
See Figure 4.
Adjust the seat position to ensure you are able to make firm
contact with the brake pedal before operating the mower.
To move the seat:
Turn key to OFF position and set the parking brake.
Sit down on seat and lift the seat adjustment lever.
While holding the lever, slide the seat to the desired
position.
Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in
position before operating the mower.
WARNING:
Be sure the seat is locked into place before operating the
mower. A seat that is not secure can cause the operator
to shift and lose control of the mower and result in pos-
sible death or serious personal injury.
SETTING THE CUTTING DECK HEIGHT
See Figure 5.
Before using the mower, raise the deck height to the cutting
position best suited for your lawn.
NOTE:
To prevent scalping the lawn when encountering
high spots,
the cutting deck wheels should be positioned
approximately 1/2 in. off the ground when the mower is at
the desired cutting height. When shipped, the cutting deck
wheels are set to the 1.5 in. position. Depending on your
desired cutting height, you may need to change the position
of the cutting deck wheels. To do so, refer to
Adjusting Cut-
ting Deck Wheels
in the
Maintenance
section of this manual.
To adjust the cutting deck height:
Stop the mower and disengage blades.
Turn key to OFF position and set the parking brake.
To raise the cutting deck, grasp the deck height adjustment
lever, push left to disengage from slot, move toward the
back of the mower, then push right into slot to secure.

CAUTION:
Hold the deck height adjustment lever firmly when setting

pinching or pulling hazard to the operator’s hand.
NOTE:
Once you have determined the correct cutting height
for your lawn, install the auto stop plug just below that posi-
tion to easily return to the correct mowing height every time.
