Catcher-Full Alarm Adjustment
The grass volume in the catcher can be modified by ad-
justing the alarm paddle (see Figure 12).
Grass Volume Adjustment
Sliding the paddle bracket (
A
, Figure 12) up increases
the volume of grass in the collector before the alarm
goes off. Sliding the paddle bracket down decreases the
volume of grass in the collector before the alarm goes
off.
1. Loosen bracket hardware (
B
).
2. Slide paddle bracket (
A
) up or down.
3. Tighten bracket hardware.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The mower lift lever (
A
, Figure 13) is used to lower and
raise the deck to the desired cutting height.
To lower the deck, pull back slightly on the mower lift
lever, push it to the left and slide it down. To raise the
deck, pull up on the mower lift lever and lock in notch to
the right.
Attaching a Trailer
The maximum horizontal drawbar force allowed is 280
Newton. The maximum vertical drawbar force is 160
Newton. This equates to a 250 lbs (113 kg) trailer on a
10 degree hill. Secure the trailer with an appropriately
sized clevis pin (
