SETTING THE CUTTING DECK HEIGHT
See Figure 6.
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.
 To lower the cutting deck, grasp the deck height adjust-
ment lever, push left to disengage from slot, move toward
the front of the mower, then push right into slot to secure.
CAUTION:
Hold the deck height adjustment lever firmly when setting
the deck height and only release when it is secure in the
desired slot. Quickly letting go of the lever may create a
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.
CHARGING THE MOWER
See Figure 7.
WARNING:
Only charge mower batteries indoors in a dry location. Do
not charge battery or expose mower to rain or damp loca-
tions. Water and liquids can come in contact with mower
components and the battery and damage connections
and electronic components, which can result in a short
circuit, increased risk of fire, and serious personal injury.
