Adjusting the Height of Cut

No Parts Required
Procedure
Important:
This cutting deck often cuts
approximately 6 mm (1/4 inch) lower than a reel
cutting unit with the same bench setting. It may
be necessary to have the rotary cutting decks
bench set 6 mm (1/4 inch) above that of the reels
cutting in the same area.
Important:
Access to the rear cutting units is
greatly improved by removing the cutting unit
from the machine. If the machine is equipped with
a Sidewinder unit, side-wind the cutting units to
the right, remove the rear cutting unit, and slide
it out to the right side.
1. Lower the cutting deck to the ground, shut off
the engine, and remove the ignition key.
2. Loosen the bolt securing each height-of-cut
bracket to the height-of-cut plate (front and each
side) as shown in

5. Move the chamber to the desired height of
cut and install a spacer into the designated
height-of-cut hole and slot
6. Position the tapped plate in line with the spacer.
7. Install the bolt (finger tight).
8. Repeat steps
9. Tighten the 3 bolts to 41 N∙m (30 ft-lb).
Note:
Tighten the front bolt first.
Note:
Adjustments of more than 3.8 cm (1-1/2
inches) may require temporary assembly to an
intermediate height to prevent binding (e.g.,
changing from 3.1 to 7 cm (1-1/4 to 2-3/4 inches)
height of cut).
