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 LH 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 RH 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 RH side of the cutter deck locate the cutter deck adjustment levers. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the cutter deck adjustment levers on the front and rear of the cutter deck. (See Figure 6-3)
