Figure 27. Adjustment Rod Length
ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT
1. With power unit and mower on a level surface and
power unit tire pressure set equally on both sides,
set cutting height on MX54/MX61 by moving the
height adjustment handle forward to lower the cut-
ting height and rearward to raise the cutting height.
Use the PowerTilt switch on MX54T/MX61T mod-
els.
2. In the high cut range, the caster wheel assembly
should be bolted through the lower hole in the
caster fork. Anti-scalp rollers should be installed in
the lower mounting hole. Use the high cut range for
the PowerTilt™ decks.
3. In the low cut range, the caster wheel assembly
should be bolted through the upper hole in the
caster fork. Anti-scalp rollers should be installed in
the upper mounting hole.
4. When the caster wheels are moved to a different
hole in the fork, it will be necessary to move the
rear pivot lift arm to the corresponding hole in the
power unit mounting brackets. See Figure 26, page
26.
5. If cut height does not correspond to the respective
position for the height adjustment handle on
MX54/MX61, the ground rod should be adjusted.
See Adjust Mower Deck, page 26. For MX54T and
MX61T, the cut height is aligned with the height
decal.
