MOWING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
See Deck Leveling Adjustment to ensure that the actual
cutting height is consistent with the cutting height adjust-
ment pin placement.
The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 43) controls
the mower cutting height. The cutting height is
adjustable between 1-1/2” (3,8cm) and 5” (12,7cm) in
1/4” (0,64cm) increments.
Depress the deck lift foot pedal (B, Figure 43), 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 machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
Rear tires must be inflated to 18 psi (124 kPa); front
tires to 25 psi (172 kPa).
2. Lock the deck lift pedal in the TRANSPORT position.
Place the deck height adjustment pin in the 4" posi-
tion and lower deck the lift pedal until the arm con-
tacts the pin.
3. Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the mower
deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical. Place a
1/4” (0,64cm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4
blocks. See Figure 44.
4. See Figure 45. Measure the distance between the
lift pivots and the spring rod pivots. Adjust the 5/8”
hex nuts on either side of the front spring rod pivot
until the measurements are equal.
