Cutter Blade Adjustment
Figure 6-7.
Additional range to the cutting height can be achieved by
repositioning the cutter deck in relationship to the engine
deck. This adjustment also affects the pitch of the deck.
There are three positions for mounting the cutter deck.
See Figure 6-8.
For cutting in the lowest position, mount the cutter
•
deck in the top hole (A).
For cutting in the mid-range position, mount the cut-
•
ter deck in the middle hole (B).
For cutting in the highest position, mount the deck
•
in the lowest hole (C).
Setting the cutter deck height will be determined by the
type of cutting conditions.

Caster spacers also can be repositioned to change the
cutting heights and to change the pitch of the deck. See
Figure 6-9.
To adjust the caster spacers, raise the deck and remove
the pin and caster wheel. Reposition the caster spacers
as needed, then replace the caster, top spacers and pin.
Make the same adjustments on the other caster wheel.
To adjust the blade height, move any number of the five
1/4" thick spacers on the blade mounting bolts to the top
of the spindle shaft or below the spindle shaft.
