Blade Adjustment and Height-of-Cut
Before Adjusting the Height-of-Cut be sure of
proper air pressure in all four tires and check for
even tire wear. The height-of-cut can be adjusted
the following ways:
•
Coarse Adjustment: For the coarse
adjustment the rear wheels, the front casters
should be adjusted at the same time. Adjust
the rear wheel motor supports equally in one
of the three settings up or down 0.75” each i

With the blades level at this assumed starting
point, you should never move all of the shims
to the bottom since that would make the
blades higher at the front.
The angle of attack of the blades should
always be level or lower at the front. This
makes the blade cut the grass only once
and saves fuel and wear on the whole
mower. It also allows more efficient
mowing and grass catching or dispersal. If

Bleeding Air from the Hydraulic
System
When any of the hydraulic parts are disconnected
or removed or when the oil is changed, air must
be bled from the system. Disconnect the small
hose line from each of the pumps going to the oil
filter. When oil starts to flow without bubbles from
end of hose, plug the hose. When oil starts to flow
without bubbles from the disconnected open port
on the pump, reconnect hose to pump. Set the
rear of the machine on jack stands or blocks to
raise rear wheels off of the ground two or three
inches and check that the mower will not fall off
the top and the bottom of the spindle shaft.
Using the maximums and minimums of these
methods gives you a total range of 2.75” from
1.75” to 4.5” in eleven distinct settings. The
factory setting is 3” when measured to a hard
floor surface at the front of the deck.
