Deck Cutting Height Adjustment

Table of Contents

Section 3: Adjustments

Land Pride

Refer to Figure 3-13 on page 25:

27.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.

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. Refer to Figure 3-9.

EXAMPLES:

•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:

13/4”, 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:

11/2”, 2”, 2 1/2”, 3”, 3 1/2”, or 4”.

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 Figure 3-16:

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

Anti-Scalp Roller Adjustment

Figure 3-16

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.

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”.

Pivot Front Wheels

Refer to Figure 3-17:

The front wheels can be set to pivot about the center of the mower frame to allow the front wheels to float with the contour of the ground or locked to prevent the wheels from floating. Place the pins in the appropriate holes to obtain the desired functions.
