6. After making height adjustments, always replace 

linchpins by inserting them into the gauge wheel 

spindle pin holes from the front to keep from loosing 

the pins and gauge wheels.

7.

Lower mower decks to the field position making sure 

all fold cylinders are fully extended. 

Refer to Figure 2-5:

8. Adjust front of center deck height to match height at 

rear of center deck:
a. Attach jack stand to jack mount located in front of 

the center gearbox channel. Make sure stand is 

secured with attachment pin. 

b. Screw jack out to lift front of mower deck and in to 

lower deck front.

c. Place same number and thickness of C-spacers 

below the spindle tube as what was placed below 

the rear gauge wheel spindle tubes. 

d. There is a groove in the carrier rod for adding or 

removing C-spacers. Turn the C-spacer so that 

the open end will slide in or off the groove as 

needed. 

e. Remove jack stand and return it to the storage 

tube located in front of the divider gearbox. 

f. Place additional C-spacers above metal spindle 

tubes.

IMPORTANT: 

Linchpins should always be inserted 

into the gauge wheel spindle from the front with the 

locking clasp flipped shut over the spindle toward the 

back. Attaching the pin in this manner will prevent 

vegetation from catching on the clasp and flipping it 

open while traveling forward.

IMPORTANT: 

Slide-on spacers are 1/2" thick. Use 

two 1/2" slide-on spacers at the front of the rear deck 

for every 1" spacer used at the back of the rear deck.

9. Take measurements at the same location on all three 

decks to verify they are all at the same cutting height.

10. Additional fine tuning adjustments may be needed 

after a test mowing run.
