Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

You can adjust the height of cut from 2.5 to 15.8 cm (1 to
6 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by relocating the
stop pin into different hole locations.
1. With the engine running, push the deck-lift switch up
until the mower deck is fully raised, and release the
switch immediately
2. To adjust, rotate the stop pin until the roll pin in it
lines up with the slots in the holes in the height-of-cut
bracket and remove it
3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut bracket corresponding
to the height-of-cut desired, insert the pin, and rotate it
down to lock it in place
Note: There are 4 rows of hole positions
The top row gives you the height of cut listed above the
pin. The second row down gives you the height listed
plus 6 mm (1/4 inch). The third row down gives you
the height listed plus 12 mm (1/2 inch). The bottom
row gives you the height listed plus 18 mm (3/4 inch).
For the 15.8 cm (6 inch) position there is only one hole,
located in the second row. This does not add 6 mm
(1/4 inch) to the 15.8 cm (6 inch) position.

Adjusting the Skid(s)

Mount the skids in the lower position when operating in
height of cuts higher than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and in the
higher position when operating in height of cuts lower than
64 mm (2-1/2 inches).
Note: On Guardian
you can switch the skid to the opposite sides of the mower,
flipping them over. This will allow you to use the skids longer
before replacing them.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operating position.
