TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS
Gauge wheels are prop er ly ad just ed
when they are slight ly off the ground when
mower is at the desired cutting height in
operating position. Gauge wheels then
keep the deck in proper position to help
prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.
NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor
on a fl at level surface.

(See “TO AD JUST MOWER CUT TING

po si tion, gauge wheels should be
assembled so they are slightly off the

TO ADJUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT
The po si tion of the at tach ment lift le ver (A)
de ter mines the cut ting height.
• Put attachment lift lever in desired cut-
ting height slot.
The cutting height range is ap prox i-
mate ly 1" to 4". The heights are mea-
sured from the ground to the blade tip with
the engine not running. These heights
are approximate and may vary depending
upon soil conditions, height of grass and
types of grass being mowed.
• The average lawn should be cut to ap-
proximately 2-1/2 inches during the cool
season and to over 3 inches during hot
months. For healthier and better looking
lawns, mow often and after moderate
growth.
• For best cutting performance, grass over
6 inches in height should be mowed
twice. Make the fi rst cut relatively high;
the second to de sired height.
