Servicing the Blade Plane

The rotary deck comes from the factory preset at 5 cm (2
inches) height-of-cut and blade rake of 7.9 mm (0.31 inch).
The left and right heights of cut are also preset to within ±
0.7 mm (0.03 inch) of the other.
The cutting deck is designed to withstand blade impacts
without deforming the chamber. If the blade strikes a solid
object, inspect the blade for damage and the blade plane for
accuracy.
Inspecting the Blade Plane
1. Remove the hydraulic motor from the cutting deck and
remove the cutting deck from the tractor.
Note: Use a hoist (or a minimum of 2 people) and
place the cutting deck on a flat table.
2. Mark an end of the blade with a paint pen or marker.
Note: Use this end of the blade to check all heights.
3. Position the cutting edge of the marked end of the
blade at the 12 o'clock position (straight ahead in the
direction of mowing) and measure the height from the
table to the cutting edge of the blade
