1. Park the machine on a level surface.

3. Shims
Note:
When operating in 64 mm (2-1/2 inch)
height of cut or higher, install the axle bolt in the
lower caster-fork hole to prevent grass buildup
between the wheel and the fork. When operating
at heights of cuts lower than 64 mm (2-1/2
inches) and grass buildup is detected, reverse
the machines direction to pull any clippings
away from the wheel/fork area.
5. Remove the tensioning cap from the spindle
shaft and slide the spindle out of the caster arm
(
Figure 23 ).
6. Install 2 shims onto the spindle shaft as they
were originally installed.
Note:
These shims require a level across
the entire width of the cutting units. 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 (
Figure
24 ):

arm and install the shims (as they were originally
installed) and the remaining spacers onto the
spindle shaft.
8. Install the tensioning cap to secure the assembly.
9. Remove the hairpin cotter and clevis pin
securing the height-of-cut chains to the rear of
the cutting unit (
Figure 25 ).
