Operation

Adjusting the Height of Cut

You can adjust the height of cut from 26 to 108 mm
(1 to 4-1/4 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments.
You can achieve this by adjusting the blade spacers,
rear axle height, or front caster spacers. Use the
Height-of-Cut Chart (page 8)
of adjustments required.
Adjusting the Blade Height
Adjust the blades by using the 4 spacers (6 mm or
1/4 inch) on the blade spindle bolts. This allows for a
25 mm (1 inch) adjustment range, in 6 mm (1/4 inch)
increments, of cutting height in any axle position. Use
the same number of blade spacers on all the blades to
achieve a level cut (for example, 2 above and 2 below,
1 above and 3 below, etc.).
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the PTO, and engage the parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Hold the blade bolt and remove the nut
