Note:
When using 25 mm (1 inch), 38 mm (1-1/2
inches), or 51 mm (2 inches) heights of cut, move the
skids and gauge wheels to the highest position.
Side Mower Decks
To adjust the height of cut on the side mower decks,
add or remove an equal number of spacers from the
caster forks, position the caster-wheel axles in the
high or low height-of-cut holes in the caster forks, and
secure the pivot arms to the selected height-of-cut
bracket holes.

Position the caster-wheel axles in the same
holes in all of the caster forks (

Shims 3 mm (1/8 inch)
3.
Install 2 shims onto the spindle shaft as they
were originally installed. These shims are
required to achieve a level across the entire
width of the mower decks. Slide the appropriate
number of 13 mm (1/2 inch) spacers onto the
spindle shaft to get the desired height-of-cut;
then slide the washer onto the shaft.
Note:
These shims require a level across the
entire width of the mower decks. Slide the
appropriate number of 13 mm (1/2 inch) spacers
(refer to the chart below) onto the spindle shaft
to attain the desired height of cut; then slide the
washer onto the shaft.
Refer to the following chart to determine the
combinations of spacers for the setting (

Push the caster spindle through the front caster
arm and install the shims (as they were originally
installed) and the remaining spacers onto the
spindle shaft.
