Readjusting Suspension To Obtain 1- 4 Inch Cut Height; Repair; Mower Deck Removal - Sabre 1338 Gear Technical Manual

ATTACHMENTS
READJUSTING SUSPENSION TO
OBTAIN 1– 4 INCH CUT HEIGHT
NOTE: Normal settling of the deck suspension after
years of use may cause cut height range to
shift downward. This may be readjusted by
resetting the right hand adjusting "J" bolt
adjuster. Adjustments are easier to make in the
lowest cutting position, while the 4.25 in. (110
mm) dimension should be measured in the
highest cutting position.
• Loosen right hand side adjusting "J" bolt and move
bolt downward in slot on right hand side of mower
deck bracket so the right hand rear blade tip is about
4.25 in. (110 mm) from ground in the highest deck
setting. Retighten right hand adjusting "J" bolt nuts
securely in slot.
• Repeat sequences described for minor adjustments
detailed in DECK LEVELING (SIDE-TO-SIDE) and
DECK LEVELING (FRONT-TO-BACK) sections.
