adjustment. Cutting height is set by adjusting number of spacers
between the castor tires and mower deck. Height adjustment is made
with the mower in the transport position.
Please note that the rear, inside corner of each wing deck is supported
by pin which must be adjusted in the same manner as the castor tires
to achieve the proper cutting height.

re provided with a 3/8” and 3/4” thickness for cutting height
adjustment from 1” to 5” in 3/8” increments.

service mower.

not more than 1/3 of the total grass height. This will result in
the best cutting performance while minimizing stress to the
grass.

position and set the parking brake.
