Comfortable ride delivered by an operator station with adjustable controls and seat position

  • Armrests as standard equipment
  • 3-in. (7.6-cm) fore-aft adjustment to make each operator comfortable
SEAT SUSPENSION

Two long, steel springs under the seat absorb shocks when traveling over rougher areas to provide a smoother ride.

Easy-to-see-and-use electric fuel gauge, instruments, and controls

CONTROL CONSOLE INCLUDES AN EASY-TO-READ FUEL GAUGE

The control console is located to the right of the operator station and includes the following:

Digital display
  • Easy-to-read fuel gauge keeps track of the amount of fuel remaining to minimize time spent stopping to refuel.
  • Hour meter shows operating hours to keep maintenance on schedule.
  • Ignition switch
  • Power take-off (PTO) control (yellow)
  • Engine speed control (orange)
  • Spring-loaded engine choke control so it is not inadvertently left on
  • Space for an additional electric control switch
FUEL SIGHT WIDOW AND FILL CAP

A conveniently located fuel-sight window allows the operator to view the fuel level when approaching the vehicle from the front:

  • Semi-clear material makes seeing how much fuel is in the tank quick and easy.
Large, 3-in. (7.6-cm) diameter fuel-fill opening reduces the chance of spilling when adding fuel.
  • Fuel-fill opening is low and angled to make adding fuel easy.
Cap is tethered to the fuel tank.
  • Less chance of fuel cap getting lost
MOWER DECK LIFT AND CUT HEIGHT

Mower deck cutting height can be adjusted from 1 in. (2.5 cm) to 4 in. (10.2 cm) in 0.25-in. (0.64-cm) increments for excellent cut quality and performance:

  • A convenient foot-lift pedal is used to raise the mower deck for setting cut height or locking mower in the raised or transport position.
  • A lift-assist spring is provided to optimize the effort it takes to raise the mower deck.
CUT-HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND TRANSPORT LOCK
  • To adjust cut height, simply push down on the foot-lift pedal, place the cut-height pin in the desired location, and release the foot-lift pedal to lower the deck to the chosen height.
  • Use the foot-lift pedal to lock the deck in transport mode. Simply depress the pedal all the way and the deck will lock into transport mode.
