Matching the Height of Cut Between
Mower Decks
1. Position the blade side to side on the outside spindle of
both wing mower decks.
2. Measure from the floor to the tip of the cutting edge
on both units and compare.
Note: These numbers should be within 3 mm (1/8
inch) of each other. Make no adjustment at this time.
3. Position the blade side to side on the inside spindle
of the wing mower deck and corresponding outside
spindle of the front mower deck.
4. Measure from the floor to the tip of the cutting
edge on the inside edge of wing mower deck to the
corresponding outside edge of front mower deck and
compare.
Note: The wing mower-deck measurement should be
within 3 mm (1/8 inch) of the front mower deck.
Note: All 3 mower deck caster wheels should remain
on the ground with counterbalance applied.
Note: If adjustments need to be made to match the
cut between the front and wing mower decks, make the
adjustments to the wing mower decks only.
5. If the inside edge of the wing mower deck is too high
relative to the outside edge of the front mower deck,
remove a 3 mm (1/8 inch) shim from the bottom of
the front, inside caster arm on the wing mower deck
(Figure 27).
Note: Check the measurements between the outside
edges of both wing mower decks and the inside edge
of the wing mower deck to the outside edge of the
front mower deck again.
6. If the inside edge is still too high, remove an additional
shim (3 mm or 1/8 inch) from the bottom of front,
inside caster arm of the wing mower deck and a shim
