CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 30) 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 30), 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. Install the deck height adjustment pin in the
4" position.
3. Adjust the 5/8” hex nuts on either side of the front
spring rod pivot (see Figure 31) until the rear lower
edge of the mower deck directly behind the chain is
3-5/8" (9,2cm) from the floor.
4. The front lower edge of the mower deck directly in
front of the u-bolts should be 3-1/2” (8,9cm) (48” &
52” decks) and 4-1/2” (11,4cm) (61” deck) from the
floor. If not, adjust the u-bolts to correct the cutting
height. Perform this step to both rods.
5. 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" (31,1cm). Be sure to
measure the 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 31). 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.
