Cutting Height Adjustment | Snapper 5900700 specification

Cutting Height Adjustment

The cutting height can be adjusted within two different ranges. The lower cutting range is adjustable between

1-1/2” (3,8 cm) and 2-3/4” (6,9 cm). The upper cutting range is adjustable between 2-3/4” (6,9 cm) and 4-1/2” (11,5 cm).

Before adjusting the cutting height, you must first determine the average cutting height. Depending on the range you plan to use, it may be necessary to adjust which pulley the deck drive belt runs in.

To Adjust the Cutting Range:

1.Remove the mower deck guard (A, Figure 6) to gain access to the mower deck drive belt.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when rotating the idler arm with the breaker bar, due to the increased tension in the spring as the idler arm is being rotated. Injury may result if the breaker bar is prematurely released while the spring is under tension.

2.Using a 1/2” breaker bar (A, Figure 7), place the square end in the square hole located on the end of the idler arm (B). Carefully rotate the breaker bar CLOCKWISE, which will relieve the tension on the belt exerted from the idler arm.

3.Slide the drive belt over the edge of the Stationary idler pulley (C). Carefully release the tension on the breaker bar until the idler arm comes to a stop.

4.See Figure 8. If you are adjusting the cutting height range between 1-1/2” (3,8 cm) and 2-3/4” (6,9 cm) position the belt in the lower pulley on PTO clutch. If you are adjusting the cutting height range between 2- 3/4” (6,9 cm) and 4.5” (11,5 cm) position the belt in the upper pulley on the PTO clutch.

5.Carefully rotate the breaker bar CLOCKWISE and install the drive belt on the stationary idler pulley. Carefully release the tension on the breaker bar. The belt should be routed exactly as shown in figure 9.

6.Reinstall the mower deck guard.
