Operation
Deck Raising and Lowering
Setting the Cutting Height
The cutting height of the mower deck is adjusted
from 1 to 5 inches (2.5 cm to 12.7 cm) infinitely
variable.
1. The key must be in the “run” position to set the
cut height.
2. Extend or retract cylinder until the cutting height
indicator points to the desired cut height.
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 whizlock nut
and the 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 3.5 inches (90 mm) use the
bottom hole. The rollers will still be effective against
scalping.
