Mower Deck Height Calibration

Ensure to set the parking brake before making any adjustments to your
Articulator.
When you receive your Articulator, you will need to calibrate the mower deck height.
1. Park your Articulator on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn off the engine and set the parking brake before making any adjustments to your
Articulator.
3. Ensure both rear drive tires are properly
inflated to 18 PSI and front wheels are at 12
PSI.
4. Ensure all wheels are pointing forward in the
direction of travel, as shown in Figure 3-8.
5. Set the deck height adjustment arm to 3”.
The flags on the lift arms should give a
visual cue as to whether the deck needs
major or minor adjustments. The deck
hanger flags should be approximately paral-
lel to the deck, while the tie rod flags should
be approximately perpendicular. See Figure
3-9.
6. Measure the center deck from
the bottom of the pan to the floor
across the front and rear of the
deck at points near the hinge
pins. See Figure 3-10.
A 3” block may be used. The
measurements should be level,
within +/-1/8”. Actual cutting
height should be measured from
the blades (ensure the blades
are not bent from damage when
taking measurements).
