OPERATION 
ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT 
Mower cutting height 
is 
raised, lowered, and 
maintained by adjusting caster and gauge wheels. 
Refer to figure and accompanying chart 
for ap- 
proximate cutting heights. 
Raise mower with tractor hydraulics 
to 
adjust 
gauge and caster wheels. 
It is important that 
all three adjustments be the 
same. To set cutting height, match numbers 
shown in illustration. (Example: hole 2 in caster 
adjustment with hole 2 in gauge wheel adjustment, 
etc.) 
Avoid very low cutting heights. 
Striking the ground with blades gives one of 
the most damaging shock loads a mower can 
encounter and, if this occurs repeatedly, it 
will cause damage to mower and drive.
