Figure 6-6. Cutter Deck Pitch Adjustment
- NOTE -
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four
(4) cutter deck hanging chains must have tension
on them. If all four chains do not have tension on
them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the
cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above.
All measurements should be taken from the top
edge of the deck as the deck has an uneven
bottom edge.
CUTTER DECK HEIGHT
The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that
the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the
cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck height,
be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the
tires are properly inflated.
1. Place the cutter deck in the 3" cutting position. Push
on the cutter deck foot pedal and pull up on the
cutter deck release lever to lower the cutter deck.
2. Check the measurement from the floor to the
cutter blade tip. If the measurement is not 3", an
adjustment can be made using the deck level links.
3. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level
links on both sides of the cutter deck. See Figure
6-7.

4. Turn the adjustment bolts equal amount of turns
either clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to
lower the cutter deck until the measurement at the
cutter blade is 3" on both sides.
5. Tighten the elastic stop nuts on the deck level links.
