3.12 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 from 1 1/2” to 2 1/2”, the middle low cut from 2 1/4” to 3 1/4”, the middle high cut from 3” to 4”, and the highest cut from 3 3/4” to 4 3/4”. Make sure the Spacers on the Caster Wheels are moved UP or DOWN as shown below to correspond with the bolt positions to keep the Mower 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 the bolts from 70 to 80 foot pounds torque.

3.13 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS FOR ADJUSTABLE DECK ATTACHMENTS
1.The Mower Deck should be mounted in the lowest holes (low cut) on the power unit.
2.To adjust height of cut, turn both Cranks (located on right hand and left hand side of deck) clockwise to raise the Mower Deck and
3.If pointers are in the correct position and you still have an uneven cut, follow the instructions as listed below to correct the problem:
A.Rotate outer Blades to point toward the sides of the Mower Deck (make sure Mower is on level surface).
B.Measure the distance from Blade tip to the ground. Measure both outside Blades. This measurement should be the same as what the height of cut pointer reads on both sides.
C.If measurement is NOT the same, then bend both height of cut pointers UP or DOWN to read the same as Blade tip measurements.
