by 1/4”, up to 4 1/2". The spacers which mark the 2", 3", and 4" deck height positions are
knurled for quick identification.
To adjust the deck height, push the deck height foot pedal (located to the outside left of
the foot rest) forward to remove the tension from the deck height adjustment lever, allow-
ing the spacers to move freely along the lever. This motion will also temporarily raise the
deck. While maintaining tension on the foot pedal, raise the hand lever from the locking
bracket and adjust the spacers to the desired height setting. Each spacer placed in front
of the lock plate will indicate an additional 1/4” of deck height. When the desired height
setting is reached, place the hand lever back into the locking bracket to secure the spac-
ers in place. Slowly release the foot pedal, replacing the tension to the adjusting lever.
Be sure to keep fingers away from the locking bracket.
NOTE: An additional 1/4” of deck height can be attained, for a maximum height of 4 3/4”,
by removing the 1/4” spacers from ABOVE all the wheel yoke collars and placing them
BELOW the collars. This will raise all of the deck height settings obtained with the deck
height adjusting lever by 1/4” respectively. The deck height range will now be 1 1/4” to 4
3/4”, in 1/4” increments.
3.23 Mower Deck Height Cable Calibration
Occasionally, you will need to calibrate the mower deck height cables. Follow these pro-
cedures to calibrate:
1. Park the Articulator on a flat, level surface. Be sure to turn off the engine and set the
parking brake before making any adjustments to the Articulator.
2. Be sure both front tires are properly inflated to 20 lb. PSI.
3. Be sure all gauge wheels are pointing forward.
4. Set the deck height adjustment arm spacers to 2”.
5. Measure the front of each deck from the bottom of the pan to the floor. They should all
measure 2”, +/- 1/8”.
6. If any deck does not fall within this range, you will need to adjust the corresponding cable
for that deck. There are two possible adjustment points - one on the foot pedal and one
on the rocker.
7. To adjust the cable on the rocker, loosen the front nut at the end of the deck cable. Adjust
the two rear nuts to raise or lower the deck. When standing in front of the rocker, turning
the rear cable nuts counter-clockwise will raise the deck, clockwise will lower it. Once
NEVER make any adjustments to the deck height while the engine is
running!
ALWAYS be sure to set the parking brake before making any
adjustments to the Articulator!
