Changing the Height of Cut

Your DEK mower is equipped with an easily adjustable floating deck which can be adjusted for cut heights of 1½” to 4½” in ½” increments.

Figure 6

How to Change the Cut Height

1.Hold one side of the deck by the black handle provided (Figure 7).

3.Raise or lower the deck until the hole in the height adjust bar (Figure 9A) aligns with the de- sired cut height hole on the height adjust bracket (Figure 9B).

4.Replace the height adjust pins into the desired cut height holes. All 4 height adjust pins must be set to the same desired cut height position.

5.Repeat the same adjust- ment process with the two height adjust pins / brackets on the other side of the mower deck.
