CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:

There are four height adjusters per mowing deck. Each adjuster (located in each corner of the deck) must be adjusted to the same height to ensure a smooth even cut. A wrench for this purpose is provided. In addition, each deck must be adjusted the same so that a level cut is obtained across the whole cutting width of the mower.

There are an infinite number of adjustmentsavailablefrom½”to4”.Movingtheadjusterupanddownmovesa side rail that mounts the front and rear rollers. Before attempting to make height adjustments, the locking bolt on the side rail adjacent to the adjuster must be loosened. When the desired adjustment is made, be sure to tighten the locking bolt and adjuster jamb nut to maintain the adjusted height. Always adjust so that the back of the deck cuts slightly higher than the front. Doing this provides a better cut and requires less horsepower.
