- NOTE -
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four
(4) cutter deck hanging chains must have tension
on them. If all four chains do not have tension on
them and the deck teeters, you must re-adjust the
cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above.
All measurements should be taken from the top
edge of the deck as the deck has an uneven
bottom edge.
CUTTER DECK HEIGHT
The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure
that the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on
the cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck
height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface,
shut off the engine and remove the igition key. Make sure
the tires are properly inflated.
1. Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the
lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height
index. Release the deck from the transport position
and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height
position.
2. Rotate the cutter blade on the left side of the cutter
deck. Position the cutter blade so it is facing "front
to back" on the machine.
WARNING
Always wear proper hand and eye protection when
working with cutter blades.
3. Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter
blade tip at the front and rear of the left side blade.
If the measurement is not at 3", an adjustment must
be made using the cutter deck adjustment lever.
Adjust as follows:
A. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck
level links on the front and rear of the cutter deck. See
Figure 6-6.
B. Turn the adjustment bolts on the front and rear
either clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower
the front of the cutter deck until the measurements
are equal. Tighten the elastic stop nuts.
