SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT

Ensure safety locks are properly engaged before attempting to
service mower.
Each of the three independent mower decks has its own cutting height
adjustment. Cutting height is set by adjusting number of spacers
between the castor tires and mower deck. Height adjustment is made
with the mower in the transport position.
Please note that the rear, inside corner of each wing deck is supported
by pin which must be adjusted in the same manner as the castor tires
to achieve the proper cutting height.
Spacers are provided with a 3/8" and 3/4" thickness for cutting height
adjustment from 3/4" to 5".
NOTE: For optimal cutting results, the mower should be set to remove
not more than 1/3 of the total grass height. This will result in
the best cutting performance while minimizing stress to the
grass.

1) Raise the mower decks into the transport (raised) position.
Ensure the deck safety locks are properly engaged.
2) Turn the engine off on the tractor, place all controls in neutral
3) position and set the parking brake.

frame to achieve the desired cutting height.
