Above
1. Set the mower deck to the 4" (10,2 cm) cutting height
position.

• If the measurements between the front tips of the
blades and the ground is greater than 4-1/4" (10,8
cm) or less than 3-3/4" (9,5 cm) the hole that the
mounting hardware is in will need to be relocated.
• If the measurements between the front tips of the
blades and the ground falls between 3-3/4" (9,5 cm)
and 4-1/4" (10,8 cm), skip to step #6.
3. Place blocking underneath all four corners of the mower
deck until the hanger chains are slack.
4. Position the hardware (A, Figure 61) that secures the
front hanger chain (B) to the front mounting plate (C).
• If the measurement between the front tip of the
blade and the ground was 4-1/4" (10,8 cm) or higher,
position the hardware in the next higher hole in the
front mounting plate.
• If the measurement between the front tip of the blade
and the ground was 3-3/4" (9,5 cm) or lower, position
the hardware in the next higher hole in the front
mounting plate.
