28. When completed, all chains will be tight, and deck
cutting height will be set to the deck height indicator.
Deck cutting height adjustment
Deck height is adjustable from 1” to 5” (2.54 cm - 12.7
cm) in 1/4” increments. The holes in the height adjusting
bar are spaced at 1/2” intervals. By turning the height
adjusting stop around, 1/4” increments can be attained due
to the 1/4” plate that is part of the stop. Fig. 5-22
EXAMPLE: When the height adjusting stop is placed in
the 1” hole, with the 1/4” plate facing to the front of the
unit, the cutting height is at 1”. When the height adjusting
stop is placed in the 1” hole, with the 1/4” plate on the
operator’s side of the hole, the cutting height is at 1-1/4”.
When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of the
holes, with the 1/4” plate on the operator’s side of the hole,
the deck height will be set at one of the following: 1-1/4”, 1-
3/4”, 2-1/4”, 2-3/4”, 3-1/4”, 3-3/4”, 4-1/4” or 4-3/4”.
When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of the
holes, with the 1/4” plate facing to the front of the unit, the
deck height will be set at one of the following: 1”, 1-1/2”,
2”, 2-1/2”, 3”, 3-1/2”, 4”, 4-1/2” or 5” .
The notch located at the rear of the right height adjusting
bar is to be used when the deck is placed in the transport
mode.
Anti-scalp wheels
Anti-scalp wheel kits are standard on the Hustler Z.
These anti-scalp wheels are designed to minimize scalping
when mowing on rough uneven terrain.
After setting the cutting height, adjust the anti-scalp
wheels so they extend below the deck but do not contact
the ground. They should always be at least 1/4” to 3/4” (.6
cm to 1.9 cm) below the deck. With the unit sitting on a flat
level surface, the wheel position can be adjusted up or down
as needed from 3/4” to 1-3/4” (1.9 cm to 9.5 cm) below the
blade surface. Move the front wheels up or down, in 1/2”
(1.3 cm) increments, using the different axle mount holes in
the wheel mount bracket. Fig. 5-23
NOTE: When the anti-scalp wheels are installed, the
minimum cutting height is 1” (2.5 cm) with the anti-scalp
wheels set at 3/4”.
