1. Position A
2. Position B
3. Position C
5. Remove the locknut that secures the adjustment
bolt to the drive pulley shield (Figure 9).
6. Locate bolt assembly in the desired tension position
as follows:
• Position A for normal conditions
• Position B for more severe conditions
• Position C for the most severe conditions
Note: The wheel drive tension is lowest when
the bolt assembly is in Position A. The tension
increases in Positions B and C (Figure 9).
7. Install the adjustment bolt and the drive spring.
8. Repeat steps through for the opposite side.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

This machine has a 1 to 4-1/4 inch (26 to 108 mm)
range for the height-of-cut. This can be achieved by
adjusting blade spacers, rear axle height, and front
caster spacers. Use the Height-of-Cut Chart to select
the combination of adjustments required.
Adjusting the Blade Height
Adjust the blades by using the 4 spacers (1/4 inch)
(6 mm) on the blade spindle bolts. This allows for a
1-inch (25 mm) adjustment range, in 1/4 inch (6 mm)
increments, of cutting height in any axle position. Use
the same number of blade spacers on all blades to
achieve a level cut (2 above and 2 below, 1 above and 3
below, etc.).
1. Disengage the blade control (PTO) lever and set
the parking brakes.

spacer(s), and secure them with a thin washer and a
nut (Figure 10).
6. Torque the blade bolt to 75-80 ft-lb (101-108 N⋅m).
Adjusting the Axle Height
Adjust the axle position to the selected height-of-cut
setting. Refer to the Height-of-Cut Chart.
1. Disengage the blade control (PTO) lever and set
the parking brakes.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the 2 axle pivot bolts
