6.6 CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS

Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory.

However, if these adjustments should ever need to be

made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the

proper cutter deck adjustment.

-NOTE-

Before proceeding with the cutter deck

adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly

inflated.

Cutter Deck Level

The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for

proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure

that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are

properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most

common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side

of the machine, check the distance from the top of the

cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from

the top of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH side of

the machine. Both measurements should be the same.

If the two measurements are different, the cutter deck

level must be adjusted as follows:

1. If the cutter deck is lower on one side, loosen the

elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on the

front and rear of the lower side. (See Figure 6-4).

Figure 6-4. Cutter Deck Level Adjustment

2. Turn the adjustment bolts on the front and rear deck

level link clockwise until the cutter deck is level

between both sides. (See Figure 6-4)

3. Tighten the two elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter

deck in the proper position.

Cutter Deck Pitch

The pitch of the cutter deck should be equal between the

front and rear of the cutter deck for proper cutting

performance. To check for proper deck pitch, be sure

that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are

properly inflated.

Check the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the

floor at the rear RH side of the cutter deck directly

behind the cutter deck hanging chains. Next check the

distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at

the front RH side of the cutter deck directly in front of

the cutter deck hanging chains. The measurement at the

front of the cutter deck should be the same as the rear of

the deck. Make these measurements at the LH side of

the cutter deck also. If the measurement at the front of

the deck is not the same, the cutter deck pitch must be

adjusted as follows:

1. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level

links on front of the cutter deck on both sides (See

Figure 6-5, Figure 6-6).

2. Turn the adjustment bolts on both side either

clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the

front of the cutter deck until the measurements are

equal. Tighten the elastic stop nuts.
