Setting the Gauge Wheels
Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing
the deck lift lever in any of the six different cutting height
notches on the right fender.
Adjust the deck wheels so that they are between ¼-inch
and ½-inch above the ground as follows.
WARNING:
Keep hands and feet away
from the discharge opening of the cutting
deck.
Place the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably
pavement. Refer to Figure 6, and proceed as follows:
•
Place the tractor’s deck lift handle in the normally
desired mowing height setting, then check the
gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance
with the surface below.
Figure 6
•
If the wheels contact the surface adjust as follows:
a. Place the deck lift handle in its highest notch.
b. Remove the rear gauge wheels by removing
the lock nuts and shoulder screws which
secure them to the deck.
c.
Remove the lock nuts and shoulder screws
which secure the front gauge wheels.
d. Place the deck lift handle in the desired
mowing height setting.
e. Insert the shoulder screw with the rear gauge
wheel into the index hole that leaves
approximately ½-inch between the bottom of
the wheel and the pavement.
f.
Note the position of the index hole used; then
install the other rear gauge wheel and the
front ball wheels into the corresponding index
hole of the other gauge wheel brackets.
•
If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance with
the surface below, lower the wheels to the index
hole that provides the approximate 1/2" clearance
as described above.
