Adjusting Fixed Deck Attachment; Cutting Height Adjustments For Adjustable Deck Attachments - Snapper PRO HYDRO SPA361 Safety Instructions & Operator's Manual

SECTION 3 -OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.12 ADJUSTING FIXED DECK ATTACHMENT
The Mower Deck has four different positions for
attaching it to the power unit. The lowest setting
provides a cutting height range from 1 1/2" to 2 1/2", the
middle low cut from 2 1/4" to 3 1/4", the middle high cut
from 3" to 4", and the highest cut from 3 3/4" to 4 3/4".
Make sure the Spacers on the Caster Wheels are
moved UP or DOWN as shown below to correspond
with the bolt positions to keep the Mower Deck level.
Once a desired cutting height is reached, attach the
Mower Deck to the power unit by installing 3 bolts on
each side in selected height of cut holes. Tighten the
bolts from 70 to 80 foot pounds torque.

ADJUSTABLE DECK ATTACHMENTS
The Mower Deck should be mounted in the lowest
holes (low cut) on the power unit.
To adjust height of cut, turn both Cranks (located on
right hand and left hand side of deck) clockwise to
raise the Mower Deck and counter-clockwise to
lower the Mower Deck. Observe the height of cut
decal located on the side of the Mower Deck
mounting plates and move the height of cut pointers
in the same desired position. See Figure 3.16.
If pointers are in the correct position and you still
have an uneven cut, follow the instructions as listed
below to correct the problem:
A. Rotate outer Blades to point toward the sides of
the Mower Deck (make sure Mower is on level
surface).
B. Measure the distance from Blade tip to the
ground. Measure both outside Blades. This
measurement should be the same as what the
height of cut pointer reads on both sides.
C. If measurement is NOT the same, then bend both
height of cut pointers UP or DOWN to read the
same as Blade tip measurements.
