6.12 BLADE CUTTING HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT

The blade cutting height is adjusted by actuating the deck

height switch on the instrument panel. However, if the

cutting height compared to what is shown on the cutting

height gauge (See Figure 6-12) is in question, the cutting

height should be checked. To check the cutting height, lift

the discharge chute and measure from the ground to the

cutting edge of the blade (See Figure 6-11). If the

measurement is different from what is registered on the

gauge, adjust the gauge rod to the proper setting.
