Cutting Height Settings
Refer to Figure 3-11 on page 27:
Cutting height is adjustable from 1" to 5" in 1/4”
increments. The holes in the height adjusting bar (#6) are
spaced at 1/2” intervals. By turning the height adjusting
stop (#5) around, 1/4” increments can be attained due to
the 1/4” plate thickness that is part of the stop.
EXAMPLES:
1.
When height adjusting stop (#5) is placed in one of
the holes with the 1/4" plate facing forward, the
cutting height will be the same as indicated on the
deck height indicator:
1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 4, 4 1/2 or 5".
2.
When height adjusting stop (#5) is placed in one of
the holes, with the 1/4" plate facing rearward (against
stop handle #4), the cutting height will be 1/4" more
than the deck height indicator:
1 1/4, 1 3/4, 2 1/4, 2 3/4, 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 4 1/4 or 4 3/4".
The notch located at the rear of the deck height gauge
bar (#6) is used when placing the deck in transport
position.
Cutting Height Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-11 on page 27:
When level, the bottom edge of the deck should be 3"
above ground level with deck height adjusting stop (#5)
set at 3 1/4” cutting height. If not, readjust deck height
adjusting nut (#2) as follows:
1.
Loosen jam nut (#3) and back it away from deck lift
block (#1) several turns.

2.
Turn adjusting nut (#2) against or away from deck lift
block (#1) until deck height is 3" above ground.
3.
Tighten jam nut (#3) against the deck lift block (#1).
Anti-Scalp Rollers
Refer to Figure 3-15:
On the front of the mower deck are four anti-scalp
rollers (#6). Their purpose is to minimize scalping the
ground when mowing on rough uneven terrain. Their
height should be adjusted after setting the deck stop to
the preferred cutting height.
1.
Position mower and deck on a flat level surface.
2.
Set deck to the preferred mowing height. (Refer to
"Cutting Height Settings" on this page.)
3.
Remove 1/2" hex nylock jam nuts (#4) from all four
anti-scalp rollers (#6).
4.
Reposition anti-scalp rollers up or down in the roller
mounting notches (A) with carriage bolts (#2 & #3) as
shown. See important note below.
5.
Secure anti-scalp rollers to the mounting brackets
with flat washers (#5) and 1/2"-13 hex nylock
nuts (#4). Tighten nuts to the correct torque.

IMPORTANT: The anti-scalp rollers will extend
below blade cutting height the distance shown below
when mounted in the following holes:
•
1/4" below if mounted in the top notches.
•
3/4" below if mounted in the 2nd notches.
•
1 1/4" below if mounted in the 3rd notches.
•
1 3/4” below if mounted in the bottom notches.
For protection of the deck and blades, it is best if the
rollers are mounted in the lowest possible notches
without rollers touching the ground.
For example:
If deck cutting height is set at 1", the rollers should be
mounted to the 2nd notches down from the top.
