• Loosen the hex jam nuts and lock
washers on the front lift rod.
• From the front of the tractor, turn
the front hex lock nuts clockwise
to raise the front of the deck, or
counterclockwise to lower the
front of the deck.
• Recheck the measurements
described in step 3 and readjust
the hex lock nuts until the proper
measurements are obtained.
NOTE: The front lift rod should be fully
to the front of both slots in the deck
front roller bracket. If one side of the
rod does not contact the front of the
slot, tighten the corresponding lock nut
as needed.
5. Tighten the rear jam nuts and lock
washers against the backside of
the front lift bracket after adjust-
ment of the rod
completed.
C. Setting the Cutting Height
The cutting height is set by positioning
the front caster wheels in one of five
settings in the caster wheel yoke of
the deck (See Figure 33). The setting
holes equate to height
ranging from approximately 1-1/2"
(upper hole) to 3-1/2" (lower hole),
with the holes positioned at 1/2"
increments.
Set the cutting height as follows:
1. Remove the hex cap screws and
nylon lock nuts from the front
caster wheels and caster wheel
yokes (See Figure 33).
2. Align the caster wheels with the
holes in the yoke that correspond
to the desired cutting height.
Insert the hex cap screws and
secure with the nylon lock nuts.
3. Remove the hex cap screws and
nylon lock nuts from the rear
gauge wheels and gauge wheel
brackets (See Figure 33).

4. Note the hole position of the front
settings

gauge wheels with the matching
holes in the gauge wheel brack-
ets. Insert the hex cap screws
and secure with the nylon lock
nuts.
5. If a cutting height in excess of 3-
1/2" is desired, it will be neces-
sary to set the cutting height by
positioning the deck using the
tractor lift system. The wheels will
not contact the ground.
