Operation

Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
CAUTION
If you leave the key in the ignition switch,
someone could accidently start the engine
and seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition before you
do any maintenance.

Adjusting the Height of Cut

The height of cut can be adjusted from 25 to 127 mm
(1 to 5 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments.
Center Deck
The height of cut on the center deck is achieved by
moving the stop pin into different hole locations.
1. With the engine running, push back on the
mower lift switch until the mower is fully raised
and release the switch immediately.
2. To adjust, rotate the stop pin until the nub on
it lines up with the slots in the holes in the
height-of-cut bracket and remove it
1. Stop pin
3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut bracket
corresponding to the height of cut desired, insert
the pin, and rotate it down to lock it in place
(Figure 4).
Note:
There are 4 rows of hole positions
4). The top row gives you the height of cut listed
above the pin. The second row down gives you
the height listed plus 6 mm (1/4 inch). The third
row down gives you the height listed plus 12 mm
(1/2 inch). The bottom row gives you the height
listed plus 18 mm (3/4 inch). For the 127 mm (5
(Figure

inch) position there is only one hole, located in
the second row. This does not add 6 mm (1/4
inch) to the 127 mm (5 inch) position.
4. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers and skids as
required.
Wing Decks
The height of cut on the wing decks is achieved by
positioning the caster wheel axles in the upper or
lower holes of the caster forks, add or remove an
equal number of spacers from the caster forks and
secure the height-of-cut collar to the desired holes in
the height-of-cut rod.
1. Start the engine and raise the cutting unit off the
floor so that the height of cut can be changed.
Stop the engine and remove the key after the
cutting unit is raised.
2. Position the caster wheel axles in the same
holes in both caster forks. Refer to
determine the correct holes for the setting.

installed in the lower caster fork hole to prevent
grass buildup between the wheel and the fork.
When operating in a cutting height lower than 64
mm (2-1/2 inch) and grass buildup is detected,
reverse the machines direction to pull any
clippings away from the wheel/fork area.
