• deck cutting height set to Notch D or higher;
• no load on the blades.
After clutch engagement, adjust the deck cutting height
to the desired level, if necessary, and advance the engine
throttle to full rpm.
IMPORTANT: Engaging the deck clutch at high engine
rpm, low deck heights or when under heavy load (in tall
grass, for example) can cause belts and/or electric
clutch to slip, resulting in premature wear or possible
damage.
2. Disengage the clutch only when the throttle is set at
less than 1/2 throttle.
Never disengage the clutch with the engine running at
high rpm. Setting the throttle to less than 1/2 throttle
when disengaging the clutch will help extend clutch life.
Warranty will not be allowed for deck clutches that fail due
to improper engagement and disengagement practices.
Deck Cutting Height Adjustment
Deck cutting height is adjustable in 12.8 mm increments.
When the adjusting pin is in the “A” slot, the deck mowing
height is set at its lowest mowing position. When the pin is
located in the “G” slot, the deck height is at its highest
mowing position or transport mode.
To adjust the cutting height, step on the deck lift pedal and
insert the adjusting pin into the desired cutting height hole.
Release the deck lift pedal. Figure 3-10
