Mower Adjustments
WARNING
Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine. Allow
all moving parts to stop. Remove ignition key, then
disconnect the spark plug wires and fasten them away
from the spark plugs.
CAUTION
DO NOT remove the mower deck baffles. The baffles
help prevent grass clippings from becoming airborne
and plugging up the engine cooling fins.
Roller Bracket Adjustment (60” Mower Only)
The anti-scalping rollers (A, Figure 47) can be adjusted for
different cutting heights by positioning roller brackets on the
mower baffle (B).
1. Remove bolts, lockwashers and nuts securing roller
bracket to baffle.
2. If you typically cut using the lower half of the mower
cutting height range, the roller brackets should be
positioned in the upper set of holes.
3. Use the lower set of holes if mowing is usually done in
the upper half of the cutting height range, or if scalping
occurs at lower cutting heights due to uneven terrain.

Gauge Wheel Adjustment (54” Mower Only)
The mower gauge wheels can be placed in two positions
depending on the height of cut. When using higher cutting
heights, set the wheels in the lower position. When using
lower cutting heights, set the wheels in the upper position.
To adjust:
1. Remove both of the hair pin clips (A, Figure 48).
2. For upper position, install the pin (B) through the spindle
above the bracket (C). For the lower position, push down
on the top of the spindle, and install the hair pin clip (A)
below the top of the bracket.
