To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades
engaged.
WARNING:
Never direct discharge of material from
mower deck towards bystanders. Do not operate the
mower without either the discharge chute or the entire
grass collection system in place. Fig. 3-9
Mower deck operation
DANGER: Never attempt to make any adjustments to
the mower deck while the engine is running or with
the deck drive clutch engaged. Mower blades cannot
be seen and are located very close to deck housing.
Fingers and toes can be cut off instantly.
With the engine running, engage the deck clutch switch
(Fig. 3-1) and advance engine throttle to full rpm.
NOTE: Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm or
when under heavy load (in tall grass for example) can cause
belts and/or electric clutch to slip, resulting in premature wear or
possible damage.
Deck cutting height adjustment
Deck height is adjustable from 1”- 3-1/2” (3.81 cm - 8.89 cm)
in 1/4” (.64 cm) increments. The deck can also be adjusted to a
4” or 4/12” (10.16 cm or 11.43 cm) cutting height.
Step on the deck lift pedal and latch the transport lever in the
deck transport position. Pull the adjusting pin out of the hole
that it is in and insert it into the desired cutting height hole. Step
on the deck lift pedal to release the transport lever. Fig. 3-10
Step on the deck lift pedal and raise the deck to its highest
position and latch the transport lever in place when transporting
the unit.
Anti-scalp wheels
An anti-scalp wheel is standard on BigDog™ Mowers C
Series machines. This anti-scalp wheel is designed to minimize
scalping when mowing on rough uneven terrain.
After setting the cutting height, adjust the anti-scalp wheel so
it extends below the deck but does not contact the ground. It
should always be at least 1/4” to 3/4” (6.35mm to 19.05mm)
below the deck. With the unit sitting on a flat level surface, the
wheel position can be adjusted up or down as needed from 3/4”
to 1-3/4” (19.05mm to 44.45mm) below the blade surface.
Move the wheel up or down, in 1/2” (12.70mm) increments,
using the different axle mount holes in the wheel mount bracket.
