To Adjust the Cutting Height:

The cutting range must be adjusted to the correct range before the cutting height can be adjusted. The cutting height indicators will help you identify the cutting height.

1.Pull the cutting height adjustment handle (A, Figure 10) up and out of the handle lock position (B) and crank the handle CLOCKWISE to raise the deck to the desired cutting height. Crank the handle COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to lower the deck to the desired cutting height. After the desired cutting heights are achieved position the cutting height adjustment handles into the handle lock position.

2.Repeat the process for the other side of the machine.

NOTE: Both sides of the cutter deck must be adjusted to the same height to insure a proper cut.
