Troy-Bilt Colt RZT Manuel D’Utilisation

Insert the shoulder screw into the one of four index 
holes in the front gauge wheel bracket that will give 
the gauge wheel a 1/4 to 1/2 inch clearance with the 
ground. 

Note the index hole of the just adjusted wheel, and 
adjust the other gauge wheels into the respective 
index holes of the other gauge wheel brackets on the 
deck.

WARNING!: Keep hands and feet away from 
the discharge opening of the cutting deck. 

NOTE: The deck gauge wheels are an anti-scalp feature of 
the deck and are not designed to support the weight of the 
cutting deck.
The mower deck cutting height can be set in any of six 
height settings using the tractor’s deck lift handle. The 
deck heights range from 1-1/2” to 4”. The deck gauge 
wheel position should be approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch 
above the ground when the deck is set in the desired 
height setting.
Using the lift handle, set the deck in the desired height 
setting, then check the gauge wheel distance from the 
ground below. If necessary adjust as follows:

Visually check the distance between the front gauge 
wheels and the ground. If the gauge wheels are near 
or touching the ground, they should be raised. If more 
than 1/2” above the ground, they should be lowered.
Remove the lock nut securing one of the front gauge 
wheel shoulder screws to the deck. Remove the gauge 
wheel and shoulder screw. Refer to Figure 6-8.
