Adjustments
Tilt-Up Deck Adjustable Stop*
When the carrier frame hinge joint is properly
adjusted, the deck lock levers should move in and
out of the engaged and disengaged positions
freely. All four (4) hitch pins used for height adjust-
ment should sit flush on the washers above the
deck pin bushing. On a level surface, if any pin is
sticking up (likely the front pins), tighten the oppo-
site side or loosen the same side to lower the pin.
Adjustments are made by loosening the jam nut
and tightening or loosening the set screws on the
Deck Mount Pivot Brackets. Retighten the jam nut
when the adjustment is complete.

GHS “Full” Signal Horn Adjustment
The vertical position of the Grass-Pak
®
switch is
critical to make sure the catcher box does not
overfill causing the delivery chute to clog. The
vertical position can be adjusted by moving the
aluminum shaft and vane on the Grass-Pak
®
switch.
1. Position the discharge chute so that it is point-
ing straight back.
a.
Turn the ignition switch
ON (RUN)
and pull
the blade clutch switch out to the
EN-
GAGED
position (engine not running).
b. Open the catcher back door and monitor
the spout position (as it oscillates) and
push the blade clutch switch down to the
DISENGAGED
position and turn the igni-
tion switch to the
OFF
position.
DANGER
PINCH POINT - SPRING LOADED DOOR
When lowering the door on the GHS catch-
er, BE VERY CAREFUL to keep hands, fin
-
gers, etc. out of the hinging mechanism
and away from the door frame as the door
closes. The springs that hold the door
closed during operation are very powerful,
and the door can slam shut with consider-
able force.
WARNING
DO NOT test the Grass-Pak
®
switch with
the engine running. Projectiles CAN be
thrown out of the grass delivery spout and
CAN cause serious injury to bystanders or
property damage.
2. Measure from the exhaust screen (top of
catcher) to the top of the Grass-Pak
®
switch
illustration. The proper measure-
ment should be between 4 and 4-1/2 inches
(10 and 11.5 cm).
