Maintenance
5.
Insert the height adjustment pin into the 3 inches
(76 mm) cutting height location.
6.
Release the transport lock and allow the deck to
lower to the cutting height.
7.
Raise the discharge deflector (side discharge units
only).
8.
Measure from the level surface to the front tip of
the center blade. The measurement should read
3 inches (76 mm).
Note:
In most conditions, the back tips on the
side blades should be adjusted:
Side Discharge Units: 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) higher
than the front.
Rear Discharge Units: to be level with the front.

Adjust the height — to increase, turn the
adjuster screw clockwise; to decrease, turn
counterclockwise.
Loosen the jam nuts on the top of each deck
adjuster. Fine tune the adjuster on the front deck
lift assembly by turning it to get 3 inch (7.6 cm)
height (see Figure 44).

•
Side Discharge Units: The back tips of the
side blades should measure 3 1/4 inches (8.3
cm).
•
Rear Discharge Units: The back tips of the
side blades should measure 3 inches (7.6 cm).
11.
Re-measure until all four sides are the correct
height. Tighten all the nuts on the deck lift arm
assemblies.
12.
Lower discharge deflector (side discharge units
only).
13.
If the four deck adjusters do not have enough
adjustment to achieve accurate cut height with the
desired rake, the single point adjustment can be
utilized to gain more adjustment (see Figure 45).
