BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the blade height can be done by moving any
number of the five smaller 1/4" spacers on the blade
mounting bolts to the top of the spindle shaft or below the
spindle shaft.
-NOTE-
All blades should be positioned equally.
Caster spacers also can be repositioned to change cutting
heights and to change the pitch of the deck. (See Fig
ure
6).

For best cut and discharge, a minimum of three spacers
should be installed between the blade and the spindle
(See Figure 7).
WARNING:
Blades have a sharp cutting edge. Wear proper
eye protection and protective gloves or wrap
blades with protective material when removing,
sharpening and installing blades.

-NOTE-
Dress the blade with a file. Using a wheel
grinder may burn the blade. Check the balance
of the blade. If blades are out of balance, vibra-
tion and premature wear of spindle assembly can
occur. See your authorized Scag dealer for
blade balancing or special tools, if you choose to
balance your own blades.
CUTTER BLADES
Do not sharpen beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade.
