CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

„Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

NOTICE

■Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to mower and drive.

1.Level mower from side to side. Check by measuring from mower frame to the ground at each deck rail.

2.Verify that the same amount of spacers are under all caster arms.

3.Loosen cap screws that attach caster arm assembly to deck.

4.Set mower on the ground.

5.Retighten cap screws. This equalizes the clearance in the bolt holes.

6.Adjust front of mower level with or slightly lower than the rear to obtain best mowing results. See Figure 4.

7.Control cutting height by adjusting front and rear caster wheels.

8.To raise rear of mower, move caster adjustment spacers under rear caster arms. See Figure 6.
