Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
Center Mower Deck
The height-of-cut is adjustable from 25 to 127 mm (1 to
5 inches) in 13 mm (1/2 inch) increments. To adjust the
height-of-cut on the center mower deck, position the castor
wheel axles in the upper or lower holes of the castor forks,
add or remove an equal number of spacers from the castor
forks, and secure the rear chain to the desired hole.

3. Shims
Note: When operating in 64 mm (2-1/2 inch)
height-of-cut or higher, install the axle bolt in the lower
caster-fork hole to prevent grass buildup between the
wheel and the fork. When operating at heights of cuts
lower than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and grass buildup is
detected, reverse the machines direction to pull any
clippings away from the wheel/fork area.
4. Remove the tensioning cap from the spindle shaft and
slide the spindle out of the caster arm
5. Install 2 shims onto the spindle shaft as they were
originally installed.
Note: These shims require a level across the entire
width of the mower decks. Slide the appropriate
number of 13 mm (1/2 inch) spacers (refer to the chart
below) onto the spindle shaft to attain the desired
height-of-cut; then slide the washer onto the shaft.
Refer to the following chart to determine the
combinations of spacers for the setting
