CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 24) controls

the mower cutting height. The cutting height is

adjustable between 1-1/2” (3.8cm) and 4-1/2” (11.4cm)

in 1/4” (.64cm) increments.

Depress the deck lift foot pedal (B, Figure 24), placing

the majority of the force on the top edge of the pedal

until it locks into the “TRANSPORT” position. Place the

cutting height adjustment pin in the desired cutting

height. Depress the deck lift foot pedal, placing the

majority of the force on the bottom edge of the pedal to

release the pedal from the “TRANSPORT” position.

DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

1. Park the machine on a flat, level floor and engage

the parking brake. Rear tires must be inflated to 15

psi; front tires to 20 psi.

2. With the deck height adjustment pin in the 4" posi-

tion, adjust the 5/8” hex nuts on either side of the

front spring rod pivot (see Figure 25) until the rear

lower edge of the cutter deck directly behind the

chain is 3-5/8" from the floor. The front lower edge of

the cutter deck directly in front of the u-bolt should

be 3-1/2" from the floor. If not, adjust the front deck

hanger eyebolt to correct the cutting height. Perform

this step to both rods.

3. With the deck height adjustments complete and cut-

ting height still set at 4", adjust the deck lift spring to

a compressed length of 12-1/4" (measure spring

only). Adjust the length of the deck lift spring by

tightening or loosening the (2) 5/8” hex nuts that are

closest to the spacer at the front end of the spring

(see Figure 25). After adjustment is made, tighten

these two nuts together. Perform this step to both

springs.

WARNING

Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine.

Allow all moving parts to stop. Remove ignition

key, then disconnect the spark plug wire and

fasten it away from the spark plug.
