3.18 Mower Deck Height Calibration
Warning
WARNING!
NEVER make any adjustments to the deck height while the engine is running!
ALWAYS be sure to set the parking brake before making any adjustments to your
Lastec Mower!
When you receive your Lastec mower, you will need to calibrate the mower deck height.
Follow these procedures to calibrate:
1.
Park your Lastec Mower on a flat, level surface. Be sure to turn off the engine and set the
parking brake before making any adjustments to your Lastec Mower.
2.
Be sure both rear drive tires are properly
inflated to 18 PSI and front wheels are at 12
PSI.
3.
Be sure all wheels are pointing forward in
the direction of travel, as shown here.
4.
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.
5.
Starting with the center deck,
measure the front of the deck
from the bottom of the pan to the
floor across the front and rear of
the deck, at points near the hinge
pins. A 3” block may be used.
The measurements should be
level
, /-1/8”. Actual cut-
ting height should be measured
from the blades (ensure the
blades are not bent from damage when taking measurements!).
