Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
The height-of-cut can be adjusted from 25 to 114 mm (1
to 4-1/2 inch) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments. Adjustment
is done by relocating 4 hairpin cotter pins in different hole
location and by adding or removing spacers.
Note: All height-of-cut pins need at least 1 spacer or damage
can occur to bushing if none are used.
Note: All height-of-cut pins can use 2 spacers maximum.
1. Select hole in height-of-cut post and number of spacers
corresponding to the height-of-cut desired (Figure 12).
2. Using the lift handle, raise side of deck and remove
hairpin cotter (Figure 12).
3. Add or remove spacers if needed and then align holes
and insert hairpin cotter (Figure 12).
Note: Spare height-of-cut spacers may be stored on
posts and retained by a hairpin cotter.
Important: All 4 hairpin cotter pins must be in the
same hole location and with the correct number of
spacers for a level cut.

Adjusting the Anti-Scalp
Rollers
The anti-scalp rollers need to be adjusted in the proper hole
location for each height-of-cut position. There needs to be 10
mm (3/8 inch) minimum clearance above the ground.
Note: If the anti-scalp rollers are adjusted too low it can
cause excess wear of the rollers.
1. After adjusting height-of-cut, check the anti-scalp
rollers so that there is a minimum of 10 mm (3/8 inch)
clearance above the ground (Figure 13).
2. If adjustment is needed, remove the bolt, washers and
nut (Figure 13).
3. Select a hole position so the anti-scalp rollers are a
minimum of 10 mm (3/8 inch) off the ground (Figure
13).
4. Install the bolt and nut (Figure 13).

5. In certain mowing conditions and terrain, a mismatch
of cutting height may be seen. Adjusting the outside
anti-scalp rollers to the minimum setting of 10 mm
(3/8 inch) will help prevent the mower deck cutting
too low on the outside and minimize the mismatch.
Adjusting the Flow Baffle
The mower discharge flow can be adjusted for different types
of mowing conditions. Position the cam lock and baffle to
give the best quality of cut.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. To adjust the baffle, loosen the nut (Figure 14).
4. Adjust the baffle and nut in the slot to the desired
discharge flow and tighten the nut.
