C. Deck Corner Ball Wheel Roller Settings

1.Matching the set heights of the ball rollers on the four corners of the mower deck to the desired cut height will prevent edge scalping and minimize any side-to-side variance in cut height.

2.There are three height adjustment holes in the bracket that mount the ball rollers to the deck.

a.Use the top set of holes for cut heights of 2 inches or lower.

b.Use the middle set of holes for a 2-1/2 - 3-1/2 inch cut height.

b.Remove the bolts and lap bar and repostion to the seconc set of holes in the mounting block.

c.Replace the bolts and nuts and tighten to 28-34 ft-lbs.

1.If angular adjustments are also required, nuts can be tightened until snug at this point.

d.The same adjustments should be made to both sides of the mower.

6.To adjust the front-to-rear angle of the lap bars,

a.Loosen the nuts on the lap bar mounting bolts, leaving the bottom one fairly snug.

b.The top hole is slotted, allowing the lap bar to pivot on the bottom bolt.

c.Move lap bar to the desired angle and tighten the nuts to 28-34 ft-lbs.

Note: In the neutral position, the handles of

the lap bars should be aligned with approxi- mately a one inch gap between the tips. Adjus- the gap by adding shim washers to the top mounting bolt between the lap bar and the mounting block.
