Matching the Height-of-Cut
1.
Check the rear tire pressure.

3.
With the machine on level surface, position 1
blade front-to-rear.
4.
Measure at A, and from a level surface to the

to lift the deck when using the height-of-cut lever.
•
More spring extension reduces the lever lift force
required and causes the deck to float more.
•
Less spring extension increases the lever lift force
required and causes the deck to float less.
1.
Raise the height-of-cut lever and lock it into the
transport position.
2.
Check the distance between the spring nut
and the rear side of the welded mount bracket
(Figure
86).
3.
Ensure that the length is between 47 to 50 mm
(1.8 to 2 inches) as shown in
