Cutter Deck Pitch Adjustment Figure 6-6.
- Note -
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four
(4) cutter deck hanging chains must have tension
on them. If all four chains do not have tension on
them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the
cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above.
All measurements should be taken from the top
edge of the deck as the deck has an uneven
bottom edge.

the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the
cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck height,
be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the
tires are properly inflated.
