2.To check the lift rod timing, measure and record the distance between the lift pivots and the rod pivots. Repeat for other side of unit. See Figure 37.

3.If the measurements for the rods are equal, no further adjustment is required. If the measurements are NOT equal (greater than 1/8” (3,17mm) difference), adjustment is required, continue with Step 5.

4.Lock the deck lift pedal in the 5” (12,7cm) position. Remove the cutting height adjustment pin and lower the mower deck.

5.To ensure that the deck is in the lowest position, push the pedal by hand towards the rear of the unit and install the height adjustment pin in the 3” (7.6cm) position to hold in place.

6.Block up the mower deck until all hanger chains are slack. Refer to Figure 39.

7.See Figure 38. To adjust the lift rod, loosen the jam nut on the front clevis then remove the 1/2” clevis pin fastening the clevis the the lift pivot arm. Turn the clevis clockwise to shorten the distance between the rod pivots or counterclockwise to lengthen the distance between the rod pivots. Reinstall the clevis on the lift pivot arm and secure with the 1/2” clevis pin previously removed. Tighten the jam nut against the clevis.
