The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1-1/2- inches to 5-inches at 1/2-inch intervals. To adjust the cutting height:

5.Cutter deck pitch is adjusted by loosening the locknut on each of the front cutter deck height adjuster pins and turning the pins until 1/4" pitch (front edge of cutter deck is 1/4" lower than the rear edge of the cutter deck) is achieved. Tighten the locknuts securely once the proper adjustment has been set.

WARNING:

Do not adjust the cutting height with the cutter blades rotating. Shut the engine off and remove the key from the ignition. Bodily injury could occur from the rotating blades.

1.Shut off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.

2.Remove the hairpins from the adjusting pins on one side of the cutter deck. (See Figure 6-8).

3.Lift or lower the deck to the desired cutting height by using the handles supplied on the cutter deck. (See Figure 6-8). Reinstall the hairpins at the desired cutting height. A deck height decal is located on the deck mounting frame as an aid in adjusting the deck to the desired height.

4.Repeat the above process for the other side of the cutter deck.
