Adjusting the Cutting Height
The cutting height of the mower deck is adjusted
from 1 1/2 to 5 inches (3.8 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.

anti-scalp rollers by removing the nyloc nut,
bushing, spring disc washer and whizlock nut.
