3.Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.

Cutter Deck Pitch

The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly behind the cutter deck height adjustment bracket. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at the front RH side of the cutter deck directly in front of the cutter deck height adjustment bracket. The measurement at the front of the cutter deck should be the same as the rear of the deck. Make these measurements at the LH side of the cutter deck also. If the measurement at the front of the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch must be adjusted as follows:

1.Loosen the two (2) elastic stop nuts. Adjust the cutter deck up or down in the adjustment slot to adjust until the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as the measurement on both sides of the machine.

2.Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.

6.6 electric clutch adjustment

The electric clutch serves two functions in the operation of the mower. In addition to starting and stopping the power flow to the cutter blades, the clutch also acts as a brake to assist in stopping blade rotation when the PTO is switched off or the operator presence circuit is interrupted.

When the clutch is disengaged, the air gap between the armature and rotor must be adjusted to fifteen thousandths of an inch, 0.015, for proper operation. The airgap adjustment is made at three bolts on the clutch. There are three inspection windows, one next to each adjusting bolt. See Figure 6-3.
