Deck Cutting Height Adjustment

Refer to Figure 3-14 on page 29:
Deck height is adjustable from 1/2" to 4 1/2" in 1/4"
increments. The holes in the height adjusting bar are
spaced at 1/2" intervals. By turning the height adjusting
stop around, 1/4" increments can be attained due to the
1/4" plate that is part of the stop.
EXAMPLES:
•
When the height adjusting stop is placed in the 1/2"
hole, with the 1/4" plate facing to the front of the unit,
the cutting height is at 1/2". When the height adjusting
stop is placed in the 1/2" hole, with the 1/4" plate on the
operator's side of the hole, the cutting
height is at 3/4".
•
When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of the
holes, with the 1/4" plate on the operator's side of the
hole, the deck height will be set at one of the following:
3/4", 1 1/4", 1 3/4", 2 1/4", 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 3 3/4" or 4 1/4".
•
When the height adjusting stop is placed in one of the
holes, with the 1/4" plate facing to the front of the unit,
the deck height will be set at one of the following:
1/2", 1", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3" 3 1/2" 4" or 4 1/2".
The notch located at the rear of the right height adjusting
