OPERATING

Adjusting Overall Cutting Height

NOTE: When adjusting U-bolts, maintain a minimum clearance of 3

mm(1/8 in.) between mower deck and stop pads. Adjust both sides of the mower deck equally. All lift chains must remain taut.

MX20099

1.Adjust four U-bolts (A) (two on each side of deck) until blade tip height is within 73-79 mm (2-7/8-3-1/8 in.) of the 76 mm (3 in.) setting.

Adjusting Mower Deck Anti-Scalp Wheels

NOTE: The flattest cut can be achieved by having all anti-scalp wheels adjusted off the ground. Check anti-scalp wheel adjustments each time the mower deck cutting height is changed.

It is recommended that all anti-scalp wheels be kept off the ground to minimize scuffing.

1.Inflate tires to correct pressure.

2.Adjust mower deck to desired cutting height.

MX15658

3.Adjust anti-scalp wheel (A) to one of three positions (D).

•Remove screw (E), nut (C) and washer (B).

•Adjust wheel up or down so it is approximately 6–13 mm (1/4–1/2 in.) above mowing surface.

4.Install wheel with attaching hardware.

5.Adjust all wheels to the same height.

Testing Safety Systems

c
