Adjusting the Cutting Height

The cutting height of the mower deck is adjusted
from 1 to 5 inches (2.54 cm to 12.7 cm) in 1/4 inch
(6.4 mm) increments.

1. Stop the machine and move the motion control

levers outward to the neutral locked position.

2. Disengage the PTO.

3. Raise the deck height lever to the transport

position (also the 5 inch (12.7 cm) cutting height
position)(Figure 10).

The deck can be raised by pulling the deck lever
up and/or by pushing down on the foot operated
deck lift assist lever located at the front right
corner of the floor pan.

Note: When changing the cutting height
positions, always come to a complete stop
and disengage the PTO

corresponding to the desired cutting height and
install the hairpin cotter pin.

See the decal on the side of the deck lift plate for
cut heights.

5. Move the deck height lever out of the transport

position (or 5 inch (12.7 cm) cutting height) and
down onto the height adjustment pin to mow at
selected height.

Note: The foot operated deck lift assist lever
can be used to momentarily lift the deck to clear
objects. Be sure that PTO is disengaged.

Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers

It is recommended to change the anti-scalp roller
position when the height of cut has changed.

1. Stop the machine and move the motion control

levers outward to the neutral locked position.

2. Disengage the PTO.

3. Engage the park brake.

4. Stop the engine, remove the key and wait for all

moving parts to stop.

5. After adjusting the height of cut, adjust the

anti-scalp rollers by removing the bolt and spring
disc washer.

6. Place the rollers in one of the positions shown

(Figure 11). Rollers will maintain 3/4 inch (19
mm) clearance to the ground to minimize gouging
and roller wear or damage.

Figure 11

For cutting heights above 4.0 inches (102 mm) use the

bottom hole. The rollers will still be effective against

scalping.
