MOWER PAN CUTTING HEIGHT - FIGURE 10
After the mower pan has been leveled properly, minor
adjustments can be made in the pan cutting height by
increasing or decreasing the center distance between
35321 rod end and 35322 adjustment link. Increasing
center distance lowers cutting height. Decreasing
center distance raises cutting height. Raising the At­
tachment Lift Lever to another notch in the lift quadrant
will also raise the cutting height of the mower pan. Ad­
just to suit individual grass cutting conditions.
