6.12BLADE CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The blade cutting height is adjusted by actuating the deck height switch on the instrument panel. However, if the cutting height compared to what is shown on the cutting height gauge (See Figure 6-12) is in question, the cutting height should be checked. To check the cutting height, lift the discharge chute and measure from the ground to the cutting edge of the blade (See Figure 6-11). If the measurement is different from what is registered on the gauge, adjust the gauge rod to the proper setting.
