ADJUSTMENTS
DECK LEVELING
1.Park the machine on a smooth, level surface. Raise the deck to the transport position.
2.Lower the deck onto a set of equal height blocks under the rear corners of the deck. Place an- other set of blocks under the front of the deck so that the deck top is pitched forward 1/8".
NOTE: The front and rear of the deck are at different heights.
3.Measure the height of the blade cutting edge above the ground. Remove pin B and set the height of cut lever E to that height
4.Loosen nuts on bolts G. Move bolts in slot to remove slack in chain. Tighten nuts on bolts G.
Height of cut
The height of cut is set by moving height of cut pin B to the hole designated for the height of cut desired.
To change the height of cut:
1.Lift the deck to the highest position.
2.Move pin B to the selected hole.
3.Lower the deck until the lift lever is stopped by the pin.
NOTES:
-Height of cut may vary due to the amount of tread on the tires, tire diameter or inflation pres- sure.
DECK RollerS
The deck rollers are adjustable up and down to provide improved deck flotation and scalping protec- tion at various heights of cut. They are not intended to ride continuously on the ground. Adjust no closer than 3/8" (10mm) to the ground.
