Adjusting Mower Deck Cutting Height

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Rotating blades are dangerous and can cut fingers and toes. Stop engine, lock the park brake, and wait for blade to stop rotating before adjusting cutting height.

Cutting height can be adjusted from approximately 25-125 mm (1-5 in.). Each hole adjusts the height-of-cut (HOC) in approximately 12 mm (1/2 in.) increments.

The deck can also be raised and locked in a transport position, to provide maximum ground clearance when moving the machine from one area to another.

1.Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2.Move the mower deck lift lever (A) to the transport position (D).

3.Position the HOC adjustment pin (C) in the proper hole for the desired height-of-cut.

4.Pull back and hold the mower deck lift lever (A) and release the transport position lock lever (B).

5.Allow the mower deck lift lever (A) to rest against the HOC adjustment pin (C).

Adjusting Mower Deck Anti-Scalp Wheels

1.Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Fingers and loose clothing can get caught in rotating parts. Do not operate machine without all mower deck belt shields installed.

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.

2.Inflate tires to correct pressure.

3.Adjust mower deck to desired cutting height.
