If needed, loosen the whizlock nut on the side of the
yoke and the jam nut on top. Fine tune the screw
adjuster by turning it to get 7.6 mm (3 inch) height (see
Figure 86).
To increase the height, turn the adjuster screw
clockwise; to decrease, turn counterclockwise.

If the front deck links do not have enough adjustment
to achieve accurate cut height , the single point
adjustment can be utilized to gain more adjustment.
12.
To adjust the single point system, loosen the two bolts
at the bottom of the height of cut plate. Refer to Figure
87.

If the deck is too low, tighten the single point
adjustment bolt by rotating it clockwise. If the deck is
too high, loosen the single point adjustment bolt by
rotating it counterclockwise (Figure 88).
Note:
Loosen or tighten the single point adjustment
bolt enough to move the height-of-cut plate mounting
bolts at least 1/3 the length of the available travel
in their slots. This will regain some up and down
adjustment on each of the four deck links.

Tighten the two bolts at the bottom of the height of cut
plate (Figure 87). Torque to 37-45 N-m (27-33 ft-lb).
Note:
In most conditions, the back blade tip should
be adjusted 6.4 mm (1/4 inch) higher than the front.
15.
On both sides of the deck, measure from the level
surface to the back tip of the blade (Postion B). The
measurement should read 8.3 cm (3 1/4 inches) (Figure
85).
16.
Fine tune the screw adjuster by turning it to get 8.3 mm
(3–1/4 inches) height (Figure 86).
To increase the height, turn the adjustment nut
clockwise; to decrease, turn counterclockwise.
17.
Measure until all four sides are the correct height.
Tighten all the nuts on the deck lift arm assemblies.

Servicing the Cutting Blades
Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season because
sharp blades cut cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass
blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges,
which slows growth and increases the chance of disease.
Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for any
wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen the
blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace
it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade. For
