MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENT
Cutting Height Adjustment
Cutting height is determined by the axle bolt setting as shown in Figure 1. To change height setting, you will
need 2 - 9/16” wrench’s. Remove the black hub cap on the outer side of the wheel. Use 1 - 9/16” wrench on the
axle, the other one on the nut as shown in Figure 1. Loosen the nut until about ½ of the threads of the nut are
still on the bolt. Next, the washer needs to pop out of the hole to allow the axle bolt to move to the desired
setting. Washer needs to fit into the hole and bolt needs to be tightened. Use a wrench on the outer side and on
the nut and tighten securely. Do not over tighten as this could damage the axle. For an even cut, all wheel
axles need to be at the same setting. Raising axle lowers cutting height, lower axle raises cutting height.
Always re-check axle bolt nut for tightness after height settings have been changed. Do not operate
mower with loose bolts
Figure 1
Figure 2
Roller brackets, Figure 2, are intended to level mower. Small height changes can be obtained by moving the
bracket up or down. Be sure all mowers are set at the same position to obtain a level cut. For best cutting
results use this adjustment to level the cutter bar.
Height Settings
All heights measured on flat surface.
Bottom hole 2 3/4” Actual cut may vary from chart.
Middle hole 1 ½” For high cut, locate axle bolt in bottom hole.
Top hole 5/8” Adjust roller bracket, Figure 2, to level cutter bar
for the best quality cut.
Reel Adjustment
