ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT
1.With power unit and mower on a level surface and power unit tire pressure set equally on both sides, set cutting height on MX54/MX61 by moving the height adjustment handle forward to lower the cut- ting height and rearward to raise the cutting height. Use the PowerTilt switch on MX54T/MX61T mod- els.
2.In the high cut range, the caster wheel assembly should be bolted through the lower hole in the caster fork.
3.In the low cut range, the caster wheel assembly should be bolted through the upper hole in the caster fork.
4.When the caster wheels are moved to a different hole in the fork, it will be necessary to move the rear pivot lift arm to the corresponding hole in the power unit mounting brackets. See Figure 26, page 26.
5.If cut height does not correspond to the respective position for the height adjustment handle on MX54/MX61, the ground rod should be adjusted. See Adjust Mower Deck, page 26. For MX54T and MX61T, the cut height is aligned with the height decal.
Apply Deck Height Decal - PowerTilt Units
1.Turn power unit key to the ON position.
2.Activate rocker switch following decal instructions on top of rocker switch bracket and set blade cut- ting edge to 3 inches.
3.With mower deck level, place deck height decal (75423) on top of height gauge bracket to corre- spond to blade height. See Figure 28.
4.Check height indicator on the top of the actuator. Blade height and indicator should be at the same height.
