HEIGHT OF CUT CONTROLS
The cutting controls consist of the height of cut
stop and the wheel height adjusters.
Height of Cut Stop. See figure 22. Lift the stop and
set it at the desired cutting height. Allow the lift
and disengagement lever to come forward to rest
against the height of cut stop.
Wheel Height Adjuster. Move the lever towards
the wheel and set it in the desired cutting height
position. See figure 23. Both wheels must be in
the same relative position.
SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
The cutting height of the mower can be set in two
different ways: Full Float position where the deck
follows the contour of the ground, and the
Suspended position where the deck hangs from
the frame of the rider. The suspended position is
normally used for cutting rough uneven ground.
To set the cutting deck in the full float position:
Set the wheel height adjusters in the desired cut­
ting height as indicated in figure 23. Set height of
cut stop in the lowest position. See figure 22.
To set the cutting deck in the suspended position:
Set the height of cut stop in the desired cutting
height. Then set the deck wheels so they just
clear the ground.
