12.Refer to Figure 3-19. While keeping the chain tight, tighten the nuts against the deck lift block on the height indicator rod.

13.Go to the right front of the mower.

14.Refer to Figure 3-18. Loosen the 5/16” jam nut on the adjuster lift chain, and back the adjuster bolt out to allow the adjuster to move up and down freely.

15.Be sure that adjuster is free to move up and down.

16.Tighten the adjuster bolt until the chain just becomes tight, making sure that the deck stays tight against the 3” block.

17.Refer to Figure 3-18. Tighten the adjuster bolt jam nut to prevent the adjuster bolt from moving.

18.Tighten the hardware holding the chain and adjuster onto the deck lift arm.

19.Go to the right rear of the mower.

20.Refer to Figure 3-17. Make sure that there is still slack in the chain. If not, loosen the two nuts on the block holding the threaded rod until there is slack in the deck lift chain.

21.Tighten the appropriate nut until the chain just becomes tight, making sure that the deck stays tight against the 3” block.

22.Tighten the other nut on the opposite side of the block, and jam them tightly together against the block.

23.Go to the left rear of the mower.

24.Refer to Figure 3-17. Make sure that there is still slack in the chain. If not, loosen the two nuts on the block holding the threaded rod until there is slack in the deck lift chain.

25.Tighten the appropriate nut until the chain just becomes tight.

26.Tighten the other nut on the opposite side of the block, and jam them tightly together against the block.

27.Refer to Figure 3-20. Compress the deck lift assist springs so that there is 1” of space between the front nut and on the spring and the rear nut on the deck lift block. Typical both sides.

28.When completed, all chains will be tight, and deck cutting height will be set to the deck height indicator.

Refer to Figure 3-16.

Deck height is adjustable from 1 1/2” to 4 1/2” in 1/4” increments. The holes in the height adjusting bar are spaced at 1/2” intervals. By turning the height adjusting stop around, 1/4” increments can be attained due to the 1/4” plate that is part of the stop.

EXAMPLE: When the height adjusting stop is placed in the 1 1/2” hole, with the 1/4” plate facing to the front of the unit, the cutting height is at 1 1/2”. When the height adjusting stop is placed in the 1 1/2” hole, with the 1/4” plate on the operator’s side of the hole, the cutting height is at 1 3/4”.

When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of the holes, with the 1/4” plate on the operator’s side of the hole, the deck height will be set at one of the following: 1 3/4”, 2 1/4”, 2 3/4”, 3 1/4”, 3 3/4” or 4 1/4”.

When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of the holes, with the 1/4” plate facing to the front of the unit, the deck height will be set at one of the following: 1 1/2”, 2”, 2 1/2”, 3”, 3 1/2”, 4” or 4 1/2”.

The notch located at the rear of the right height adjusting bar (4 1/2” height) is to used when the deck is placed in the transport mode.

Anti-Scalp Rollers

Refer to Refer to Figure 3-21.

Anti-scalp rollers are standard on the Razor Pro. These anti-scalp rollers are designed to minimize scalping when mowing on rough uneven terrain.

After setting the cutting height, adjust the front anti-scalp rollers so they extend below the deck but do not contact the ground. They should always be at least 1/4” to 3/4” below the deck. With the unit sitting on a flat level surface, the front wheel position can be adjusted up or down as needed from 3/4” to 1 3/4” below the blade surface. Move the front wheels up or down, in 1/2” increments, using the different axle mount holes in the roller mount bracket.

When adjusting the rear anti-scalp wheels, the wheel should be in the lower axle mount hole when the front antiscalp wheels are in the lower or middle axle mount holes. When the front wheels are in the upper axle mount hole, the rear wheels should be in the upper axle mount hole as well.

NOTE: When the anti-scalp rollers are installed, the minimum cutting height is 1 1/2” with the anti-scalp rollers set at 3/4”.
