OPERATION

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

(See Fig. 10)

The position of the attachment lift lever (A) determines the

cutting height.

Fig. 10

• Put attachment lift lever in desired cutting height slot.

The cutting height range is approximately 1" to 4". The

heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with

the engine not running. These heights are approximate

and may vary depending upon soil conditions, height of

grass and types of grass being mowed.

• The average lawn should be cut to approximately

2-1/2" during the cool season and to over 3" during hot

months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow

often and after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in height

should be mowed twice. Make the first cut relatively

high; the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 11)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly

off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height

in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck

in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain

conditions.

NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level

surface.

• Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See "TO AD-

JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in the Operation

section of this manual).

• With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge

wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off

the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole as

shown and tighten securely.

• Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel insame

adjustment hole.
