CUTTING HEIGHT POSITION

d)Insert height adjustment pin into hole corresponding to desired cutting height and install hairpin cotter. See decal on the side of the deck lift plate.

e)Move lever out of transport (or 5” (12.7 cm) cutting height) position and down onto height adjustment pin to mow at selected height.

f)To transport, move lever back up to transport (or 5” (12.7 cm) cutting height) position.

Note: The foot operated deck lift assist lever can be used to momentarily lift the deck to clear objects. Be sure that PTO is disengaged.

g)Adjust anti-scalp rollers for Normal Operating Conditions. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Place rollers in one of the positions shown in Figure 11. Rollers will maintain 3/4 in. (19 mm) clearance to the ground to minimize gouging and roller wear or damage.

For Maximum Deck Flotation, place rollers one hole position lower. Rollers should maintain 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) minimum clearance to ground. Do Not adjust rollers to support the deck. Be sure bolt is tightened properly or loss of anti-scalp roller may result.

FOR CUTTING HEIGHTS ABOVE 3.5” (38 mm) USE THE BOTTOM

HOLE THE ROLLERS WILL STILL BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST SCALPING
