CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Placing the spacers above the caster
arm lowers the deck and decreases cutting
height. Placing the spacers below the caster
arm raises the deck and increases the cutting
height.

raise the deck slightly, turn the cutting height
spacers so the open end aligns with the flats
cut into the caster fork, and then remove the
spacers.
