WARNING: Never direct discharge of material from mower
deck towards bystanders. Do not operate the mower without
either the discharge chute or the entire grass collection
system in place. Fig. 3-8
Mower deck operation
DANGER: Never attempt to make any adjustments to the
mower deck while the engine is running or with the deck
drive clutch engaged. Mower blades cannot be seen and are
located very close to deck housing. Fingers and toes can be
cut off instantly.
With the engine running, engage the deck clutch switch (Fig. 3-1) and
advance engine throttle to full rpm.
NOTE: Engaging the deck clutch at high engine rpm or when under
heavy load (in tall grass for example) can cause belts and/or electric clutch
to slip, resulting in premature wear or possible damage.
Deck cutting height adjustment
FasTrak 36/42
Deck height is adjustable from 1-1/2” - 4” (3.81
CM - 10.16 CM) in 1/4”
(.64
CM) increments. The holes in the height adjusting bar are spaced at
1/2” (1.27 CM) intervals. By turning the height adjusting stop around, 1/4”
(.64
CM) increments can be attained due to the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate that is
part of the stop. Fig. 3-10
EXAMPLE: When the height adjusting stop is placed in the 1-1/2”
(3.81 CM) hole, with the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate facing to the front of the
unit, the cutting height is at 1-1/2” (3.81CM). When the height adjusting
stop is placed in the 1-1/2” (3.81
CM) hole, with the 1/4” (.64 CM) plate on
the operator’s side of the hole, the cutting height is at 1-3/4” (4.45 CM).
The notch located at the rear of the height adjusting bar is to be used
