Disengaging the PTO
To disengage, push the PTO switch to the off position.
Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
The height-of-cut is adjusted from 1 to 6 inches
(2.5 to 15.8 cm) in 1/4 inch (6 mm) increments by
relocating the stop pin into different hole locations.
1. With the engine running, pull back on the deck
lift lever until the mower deck is fully raised and
release the lever immediately (Figure 22).
2. To adjust, rotate the stop pin until the roll pin
in it lines up with the slots in the holes in the
height-of-cut bracket and remove it (Figure 22).
3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut bracket
corresponding to the height-of-cut desired, insert
the pin, and rotate it down to lock it in place
(Figure 22).
Note: There are four rows of hole positions
(Figure 22). The top row gives you the height of cut
listed above the pin. The second row down gives
you the height listed plus 1/4 inch (6 mm). The
third row down gives you the height listed plus 1/2
inch (12 mm). The bottom row gives you the height
listed plus 3/4 inch (18 mm). For the 6 inch (15.8
cm) position there is only one hole, located in the
second row. This does not add 1/4 inch (6 mm) to
the 6 inch (15.8 cm) position.

Adjusting the Skid(s)
Mount the skids in the lower position when operating
in height of cuts higher than 2-1/2 inches (64 mm) and
in the higher position when operating in height of cuts
lower than 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).
Note: On Guardian
worn, you can switch the skid to the opposite sides of
the mower, flipping them over. This will allow you to
use the skids longer before replacing them.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position, and set the parking
brake.
2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position, stop
the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Loosen the screw at the front of each skid (2 skids
on Guardian decks and 1 skid on side-discharge
decks).
