How-To: TDR-X – Changing Height of Cut in 3 Simple Steps

Step-By-Step Guide

Adjusting the height of cut on the TDR-X was made simple on purpose. With the supplied tool, you can change the cut height in just a few minutes with 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Loosen both side channel bolts

Using the supplied tool, place the socket end on the nut and loosen in a counter-clockwise rotation. Loosen enough that the nut moves freely, but do not completely remove the nut. Each side channel has two bolts, loosen both before continuing.

With both side channel bolts loose, choose an end to start on. Use the supplied tool on the top of the adjustment bolt to adjust the height of cut.

Lowering Height of Cut

Raising Height of Cut

To raise the height of cut, turn the adjustment screw clockwise.

About the Adjustments

As you adjust the height of cut, pay attention to the arrow indicator on the side channel. Each mark on the indicator is 1/4″, allowing for adjustments from 3/8″ to 3 3/8″. 6 complete turns with of the adjustment wrench should represent 1″ of travel in either direction.

Step 3: Tighten Side Channel Bolts

Once you have set the height on both sides of the channel, tighten the side channel bolts to secure them in place. This step is important to keep the channels set to the desired height. Failure to tighten the bolts can result in damage to your mower deck.
