Cutting Height Adjustment - 32” Model
The cutting height can be adjusted within two different
ranges. See Figure 1 for deck height indicator.
Before adjusting the cutting height, you must first
determine the average cutting height. Depending
on the range you plan to use, it may be necessary
to adjust the deck lift pivot locations and the pulley
spacer positions. See Figures 1, 2 & 3 for pulley and
pivot positions in relation to the cutting range.
To Adjust the Cutting Range:
1. Remove the mower deck drive belt. See Belt
Removal & Replacement Section for proper
procedure.
2. Remove the spindle nut (B, Figure 2) fastening
the pulley to the spindle. Remove the pulley and
key. Move the pulley spacers into the proper
position in relation to the cutting range. Reinstall
the pulley and key. Reinstall the nut and torque to
85-90 ft. lbs. (115-122 Nm).
3. Remove the pivot bolts and nuts (A) and reinstall
at the proper position in relation to the cutting
range. Reinstall the bolts and nuts and tighten
securely.
4. Reinstall the mower deck drive belt. See Belt
Removal & Replacement Section for proper
procedure.
To Adjust the Cutting Height:
Turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the mower
deck or counterclockwise to lower the mower deck.
