Deck Height Adjustments

DANGER
Before making adjustments or performing maintenance on
your mower, disengage PTO, shut off tractor and wait for all
moving parts to stop before dismounting tractor. Disconnect
the PTO driveline.
!
CAUTION
Block decks up before making cutting height adjustments.
These adjustments should be made with mower
hooked-up to the tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height.
Position mower on a level surface and adjust hitch so
that the main frame is level to the ground. Tire pressure
will affect mowing height. Be sure all tires have proper
psi pressure. See “Tire Inflation Chart” on page 43.
IMPORTANT: Refer to “U-Joint Timing” and
“Transporting” on page 17 for instructions on raising
and lowering the decks before continuing.
Refer to Figure 3-1:
1. Lower mower decks fully down on a flat level surface.
2. Make measurement (A) (top of deck to ground) on all
three decks. Check measurements in Cutting Height
Chart to determine if the decks need to raised or
lowered to obtain preferred cutting height (B).
3. Raise all three mower decks up to an adequate
height and block under the decks to prevent them
from falling during gauge wheel height adjustments.
Refer to Figure 3-2:
4. Add or remove spacers below the spindle tubes
equal to the number of inches the gauge wheel
needs to be adjusted. Adding spacers will raise the
cutting height and removing spacers will lower the
cutting height. When finished, all 10 gauge wheels
will usually have an equal number of spacers below
the spindle tubes. See note below.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing tolerances and tire
size differences, it may be necessary to readjust
some spacers. Because of this, you may not end up
with equal number of spacers on all gauge wheels.
