4. Place 2 x 4’s on edge under the cutting
deck from front to rear and lower the
deck down onto the 2 x 4’s.
5. Adjust the four lower chain bolts to the
center slots on the deck. Make sure the
lift blocks under the frame are tightly

Adjusting Cutting Height

4. Drop and secure the lever at (for
example) the 2" cutting height. Measure
as above. The distance should be 2"
(50 mm).
