MOWING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The mowing height is determined by three factors: the mount position of the mower deck, the number of blade spacers above the spindle and the number of caster spacers above the caster arm.

Refer to the chart to the right for the correct settings to obtain the desired height of cut. Remember, the “Blade Spacers” and “Caster Spacers” columns refer to the number ABOVE the spindle and caster arm.
