6.6 CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS
Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory.
However, if these adjustments should ever need to be
made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the
proper cutter deck adjustment.
-NOTE-
Before proceeding with the cutter deck
adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly
inflated.
Cutter Deck Level
The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for
proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure
that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are
properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most
common cutting height that you will use. On the LH side
of the machine, check the distance from the top of the
cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the
top of the cutter deck to the floor on the RH side of the
machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the
two measurements are different, the cutter deck level
must be adjusted as follows:
1. On the front RH side of the cutter deck locate the
cutter deck adjustment levers. Loosen the elastic stop
nuts securing the cutter deck adjustment levers on the
front and rear of the cutter deck. (See Figure 6-3)

6.5 BELT ALIGNMENT
Belt alignment is important for proper performance of
your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear
or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for
belt adjustment.
All drive belts and cutter deck belts are spring loaded and
self-tensioning. The belts should be checked periodically
for proper alignment and wear.
WARNING:
Before removing any guards, shut the engine off
and remove the ignition key.
