Troubleshooting, Adjustment & Service
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 28) controls
the mower cutting height. The cutting height is
adjustable between 1-3/4” (4.4cm) and 5” (12.7cm) in
1/4” (.64cm) increments.
Depress the deck lift foot pedal (B, Figure 28), placing
the majority of the force on the top edge of the pedal
until it locks into the “TRANSPORT” position. Place the
cutting height adjustment pin in the desired cutting
height. Depress the deck lift foot pedal, placing the
majority of the force on the bottom edge of the pedal to
release the pedal from the “TRANSPORT” position.
WARNING
Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine.
Allow all moving parts to stop. Remove ignition
key, then disconnect the spark plug wire and
fasten it away from the spark plug.
