6.5 Belt Alignment

Belt alignment is important for proper performance of your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for belt adjustment.

6.6 Cutter Deck Adjustments

Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory. However, if these adjustments should ever need to be made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the proper cutter deck adjustment.

- NOTE -

Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly inflated.

Cutter Deck Level

The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side of the machine, check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH side of the machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must be adjusted as follows:

1.On the front LH side of the cutter deck locate the cutter deck level adjusting bracket. See Figure 6-5.

2.Loosen the two (2) elastic stop nuts. Adjust the bolt up or down on the adjustment bracket to adjust the cutter deck until the distance from the bottom of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as the measurement on the RH side of the machine.

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 hanging chains. 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 hanging chains.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 jam nut on both adjusting rods. See Figure 6-6.
