Adjust Cutting Height￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

„Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

IMPORTANT

■Avoid low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing blades to contact ground repeatedly will cause damage to mower and drive.

1.Level mower from side to side. Check by measuring distance from mower frame to the ground at each deck rail.

2.Verify that the same amount of spacers are under all caster arms.

3.Control cutting height by adjusting front and rear caster wheels.

4.To raise rear of mower, move caster adjustment spacers under rear caster arms.

5.To raise front of mower, move spacers under front caster wheel arms.
