Scag Power Equipment SWZV Manuel D’Utilisation

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.  Next check
the distance from the top of the cutter deck to the floor at
the front RH side of the cutter deck.  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 6-4).

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.

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

deck adjustment levers clockwise to raise or counter-
clockwise to lower the RH side until the distance from
the top of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as
the measurement on the LH side of the machine.

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

deck in the proper position.

The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that
the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the
cutting height index gauge.  To check for proper deck
height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface,
shut off the engine and  remove the igition key.  Make
sure the tires are properly inflated.

1. Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the

lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height
index.  Release the deck from the transport position
and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height
position.
