6.6 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The mower has two methods of adjusting cutting height:
1.
Moving position of CUTTING BLADE on cutting
blade spindle shaft.
2.
Moving position of CUTTING DECK.
6.6.1. CUTTING BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Each cutting blade assembly is equipped with six 1/4"
spacers – four below the blade spindle, and two above. To
change cutting height of Blades, move the Spacers from
under the Spindle Housing to above the Spindle Housing
Pulley. Each Spacer moved above the Spindle Housing
Pulley will provide an additional 1/4” of cutting height.
DO
NOT put any Spacers below Blade.
See Figures 6.6 and
6.7.
FIGURE 6.6
NOTE:
Changing cutting height of blades does not
change the cutting deck ground clearance. If an
undesirable cutting pattern results, then cutting height
adjustment must be made by adjusting rear axle and
caster wheels.
Install Blades (Air Lift Up) with retaining hardware as
shown below and tighten to 60 to 75 ft.-lbs. See Figure 6.7.
