Adjusting the Cutting Height
The cutting height of the mower deck is adjusted
from 1 to 5 inches (2.54 cm to 12.7 cm) in 1/4 inch
(6.4 mm) increments.
1. Stop the machine and move the motion control
levers outward to the neutral locked position.
2. Disengage the PTO.
3. Raise the deck height lever to the transport
position (also the 5 inch (12.7 cm) cutting height
position)(
Figure 10).
The deck can be raised by pulling the deck lever
up and/or by pushing down on the foot operated
deck lift assist lever located at the front right
corner of the oor pan.
Note: When changing the cutting height
positions, always come to a complete stop
and disengage the PTO.

See the decal on the side of the deck lift plate for
cut heights.
5. Move the deck height lever out of the transport
position (or 5 inch (12.7 cm) cutting height) and
down onto the height adjustment pin to mow at
selected height.
Note: The foot operated deck lift assist lever
can be used to momentarily lift the deck to clear

Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers
It is recommended to change the anti-scalp roller
position when the height of cut has changed.
1. Stop the machine and move the motion control
levers outward to the neutral locked position.
2. Disengage the PTO.
3. Engage the park brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
5. After adjusting the height of cut, adjust the
anti-scalp rollers by removing the bolt and spring
disc washer.
6. Place the rollers in one of the positions shown
(
Figure 11). Rollers will maintain 3/4 inch (19
mm) clearance to the ground to minimize gouging
and roller wear or damage.
Figure 11
For cutting heights above 4.0 inches (102 mm) use the
bottom hole. The rollers will still be effective against
scalping.
