Setting Mower Deck Cutting Height (R Series)

Rotating blades are dangerous and can cut fingers and toes. Stop engine, lock the park brake, and wait for blade to stop rotating before adjusting cutting height.

Cutting height can be adjusted from approximately 25 to 139 mm (1 to 5-1/2 in.). Each increment on the knob adjusts the height-of-cut (HOC) approximately 6 mm (1/4 in.).

The deck can also be raised and locked in a transport position, to provide maximum ground clearance when moving the machine from one area to another.
