6.6 CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS
The mower deck can be adjusted from a height of 1-1/2-
inches to 5-inches at 1/2-inch intervals. To adjust the
cutting height:
Do not adjust the cutting height with the cutter
blades rotating. Shut the engine off and remove
the key from the ignition. Bodily injury could
occur from the rotating blades.
WARNING:
1. Shut off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Remove the hairpins from the adjusting pins on one side
of the cutter deck. See Figure 6-7.
3. Lift or lower the deck to the desired cutting height by
using the handles supplied on the cutter deck. See Figure
6-6. Reinstall the hairpins at the desired cutting height.
A deck height decal is located on the deck mounting
frame as an aid in adjusting the deck to the desired
height.
4. Repeat the above process for the other side of the cutter
deck.
NEVER engage the cutter deck without the belt
cover in place.
WARNING:

on each of the front cutter deck height adjuster pins
and turning the pins until 1/4" pitch (front edge of cutter
deck is 1/4" lower than the rear edge of the cutter deck)
is achieved. Tighten the locknuts securely once the
proper adjustment has been set.
