the right side of the dashboard. The recoil starter
can either be pulled while seated on the rider or
pulled while standing behind the rider. The
ignition key must be on before the engine will
start. After the engine starts, the recoil starter
handle must be returned and locked into the
dashboard
before the blades or clutch are
engaged. The engine will stop if you do not follow
these instructions. See figure 11.

FIGURE 13. WHEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTER
The cutting height of the mower can be set in two
different ways; FULL FLOAT position where the
deck folows the contour of the ground, and the
SUSPENDED position where the deck hangs from
the frame of the rider. The suspended position is
normally used for cutting rough uneven ground.
To set the cutting deck in the full float position,
set the wheel height adjusters in the desired cut­
ting height as indicated in figure 13. Set height of
cut stop in the 1 Va position. See figure 12.
To set the cutting deck in the suspended position,
set the height of cut stop in the desired cutting
height and then set the deck wheel so they just
clear the ground.
