Cutter Deck Height
The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that
the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the
cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck
height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface
and the tires are properly inflated.
1. Place the cutter deck in the 3" cutting position. Push
on the cutter deck foot pedal and pull up on the cutter
deck release lever to lower the cutter deck.
2. Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter
blade tip. If the measurement is not at 3", an
adjustment can be made using the deck height control
rod.
3. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level
links on both sides of the cutter deck.
(See Figure 6-7)
4. Turn the adjustment bolts equal amount of turns
either clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower
the cutter deck until the measurement at the cutter
blade is 3" on both sides.
4. Tighten the elastic stop nuts on the deck level links.
-NOTE-
If an adjustment had to be made, be sure that the
cutter deck can easily be locked into the
transport position.

-NOTE-
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four
cutter deck hanging chains must have tension on
them. If all four chains do not have tension on them
and the deck teeters, you must readjust the cutter
deck as outlined in the procedures above. The
measurements should be taken from the top edge of
the deck as the deck has an uneven bottom edge.
