CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 33) controls
the mower cutting height. The cutting height is
adjustable between 1-3/4” (4,4cm) and 5” (12,7cm) in
1/4” (0,64cm) increments.
Depress the deck lift foot pedal (B), placing the majority
of the force on the top edge of the pedal until it locks into
the “TRANSPORT” position. Place the cutting height
adjustment pin in the desired cutting height. Depress the
deck lift foot pedal, placing the majority of the force on
the bottom edge of the pedal to release the pedal from
the “TRANSPORT” position.
