3.13 ADJUSTING FIXED DECK ATTACHMENT
The mower deck has four different positions for
attaching it to the power unit. The lowest setting
provides a cutting height range of 1-1/2” to 2-1/2”, the
middle low cut is 2-1/4” to 3-1/4”, the middle high cut is
3” to 4”, and highest cut is 3-3/4” to 4-3/4”. Make sure
the spacers on the caster wheels are moved up or down
as shown to correspond with the bolt positions to keep
deck level. Once a desired cutting height is reached,
attach the mower deck to the power unit by installing 3
bolts on each side in selected height of cut holes.
Tighten bolts to 70 to 80 foot pounds torque. See
Illustration.
