Adjusting the Mower Deck Height
NOTE: The TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Deck has four (4) cutting heights, 4", 5-1/4", 6-1/2" and 7-3/4".
1.
To change the cutting height, apply foot pressure to the Step & Mow™
Height Adjuster (
Figure 14 ) and at the same time, lift up on the spring
loaded Deck Height Adjust Knob and re-position the Knob to the desired
height in one of the four Height Adjust Notches on top of the Deck. Repeat
this for the opposite side of the Deck.
NOTE: Make sure that the left and right side Adjust Knob is the same notch for both
sides.
Tip: Since you previously leveled the Out-Rigger™ Tow Bar when attaching it to
your Tow Vehicle, whenever you change Cutting Height position up or down,
just move the Versa-Hitch™ (
Figure 11 on page 13 ) up or down to ensure that
the Tow Bar is level or slightly lower at the Tow Hitch.
•
Shut off the engine before adjusting the deck height or serious injury may result. The blades could sever your foot if it sticks
under the deck with the engine running.
•
Never get off the tow vehicle without first stopping the blades and shutting off the tow vehicle engine and the TOW-BEHIND
DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER engine.
Keep your foot clear of the mower deck when adjusting the height. You could pinch your foot if it sticks under the deck.
