Mower deck operation
DANGER: Never attempt to make any adjustments to the
mower deck while the engine is running or with the deck
drive clutch engaged. Mower blades cannot be seen and are
located very close to deck housing. Fingers and toes can be
cut off instantly.
With the engine running, engage the deck clutch switch (Fig. 3-1) and
advance engine throttle to full rpm.
NOTE: Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm 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.
Deck cutting height adjustment
Deck height is adjustable from 1” - 5” (2.54 CM - 12.7 CM) in 1/4” (.64
CM) increments. The holes in the height adjusting bar are spaced at 1/2”
(1.27 CM) intervals. By turning the height adjusting stop around, 1/4” (.64
CM) increments can be attained due to the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate that is part of
the stop. Fig. 3-9
EXAMPLE: When the height adjusting stop is placed in the 1” (2.54
CM) hole, with the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate facing to the front of the unit, the
cutting height is at 1” (2.54 CM). When the height adjusting stop is placed
in the 1” (2.54 CM) hole, with the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate on the operator’s
side of the hole, the cutting height is at 1-1/4” (3.18 CM
).
The notch located at the rear of the height adjusting bar is to be used
when the deck is placed in the transport mode.
