5.9.42 Rear Deck Height Of Cut Adjustment… If adjustment is needed; turn the Height of Cut Adjusting
Bolt clockwise to raise the deck, turn the Height of Cut Adjusting Bolt counter clockwise to lower
the deck. Make sure the left and right side measure approximately within 1/8 inch from one side
to the other.
5.9.43 Recheck Deck Blade Tip Measurements… Recheck all measurements. Make adjustments as
required.
(NOTE: Deck should be hanging equally on all 4 Deck Hangers when properly adjusted.)
5.9.44 Set Deck to Desired Cut Height… Set deck to the desired operation cut height position.
Deck Lift Assist Spring
5.9.45 Deck Lift Assist Spring… The Deck Lift Assist Spring is used to reduce the effort required to raise
and/or lower the deck. Changing the length of the spring stretch will have a direct effect on this
effort. Reducing the gap between the Spring Anchor Tab and Deck Lift Assist Spring will decrease
the effort required to lift the deck. Increasing the gap will increase the effort.
(Note: Reducing the gap between the Spring Anchor Tab and Deck Lift Assist Spring beyond the
Factory Settings can cause cut quality issues. The deck can float up, especially when operating
over rough ground.)
5.9.46 Factory Settings… Country Clipper recommends the following measurements between the Spring
Anchor Tab and the Spring:
48” & 52” Deck = 1 inch
60” Deck = 0.5 inches
5.9.47 Adjust Spring Length… Turn the bolt clockwise to reduce the gap; counter clockwise to increase
the gap.
