Grass Shield Height Adjustment
Adjust shield to assure proper grass clipping discharge
into the basket.
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine
is OFF. Remove high tension lead from the spark plug.
2. Measure distance from the top of the front support
rod to the front lipof the shield at each end ofcutting unit
(Fig. 16).
3. The height from the support rod to the front lip of the
shield for normal cutting conditions should be 4 inches.
Note: Shield can be lowered for drier conditions (clipĆ
pings fly over top of basket) or raised to allow for heavy
wet grass conditions (clippings build up on rear of basĆ
ket).
4. Loosen capscrews and nuts securing each end of
the shield to the side plates. Adjust shield to the correct
height and tighten fasteners (Fig. 17).

Cutoff Bar Adjustment
Adjust cutoff bar to assure clippings are cleanly dis-
charged from the reel area.
Note: The cutoff bar is adjustable to compensate for
changes in turf conditions. The bar should be adjusted
closer to the reel for extremely wet turf. However, adjust
cutoff bar further away from the reel for dry turf. The bar
should be parallel to the reel to assure optimum perfor-
mance. Make sure cutoff bar is adjusted whenever the
shield height is adjusted or the reel is sharpened.
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine
is OFF. Remove high tension lead from the spark plug.
2. Loosen screws securing the cutoff bar. Insert a
0.060 inch (0.152 mm) feeler gauge between the top of
the reel and the bar.
3. Tighten screws so that the distance between the
cutoff bar and reel is equal for the complete length of the
reel.
