What happens here

Locate the mower's jack, which typically stows away on top of the deck. The presenter notes that this jack can tend to vibrate and extend itself during operation. To prevent this, he recommends either binding it tightly when stowed or removing it entirely and storing it in a shed if the mower is not frequently disconnected. To set the mowing deck height, use the provided spacers. These spacers are placed on the hydraulic cylinders that control the deck's height, allowing for precise adjustments (e.g., 8 inches for summer mowing).

Goal: Learn how to adjust mowing height and properly stow the mower jack.
