3.12 ADJUSTING FIXED DECK ATTACHMENT
The mower deck has four different positions for attaching
it to the power unit. The lowest setting provides a cutting
height range of 1-1/2” to 2-1/2”, the middle low cut is 2-
1/4” to 3-1/4”, the middle high cut is 3” to 4”, and highest
cut is 3-3/4” to 4-3/4”. Make sure the spacers on the
caster wheels are moved up or down as shown to
correspond with the bolt positions to keep deck level.
Once a desired cutting height is reached, attach the
mower deck to the power unit by installing 3 bolts on
each side in selected height of cut holes. Tighten bolts to
70 to 80 foot pounds torque. See Figures 3.14 A-D.
