B. DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENTS

The 48" mower deck is equipped with ground following front castor wheels and is designed to run on its own wheels. However, to ensure even cutting, the mower deck should be properly leveled. The leveling procedure will result in the left and right blades having corresponding cutting-edge-to ground measurements within 1/16 inch of each other. Also, the blades will have a downward tilt toward the front of the tractor of approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch. To level the mower deck, proceed as follows:

WARNING

Before making any adjustments, place the PTO switch in the “OFF” position, engage the brake pedal lock, turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position, remove the key from the switch and remove the spark plug wire to avoid accidental starting and injury.

WARNING

When adjusting the mower deck, be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp blades.

NOTE

Check for proper tire inflation before making a leveling adjustment. The tractor and deck MUST be placed on a hard, level surface during leveling adjustment.

SIDE TO SIDE LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

1.Position the tractor and mower on a hard, level surface. Open the tractor hood and disconnect the spark plug wires.

2.The mower deck wheels should be installed in their uppermost position to prevent contact with the hard, level surface below. Refer to CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.

3.Raise the tractor implement lift handle to its highest setting.

4.Position the mower blades so that the ends of each blade face the right and left sides of the tractor (Refer to Figure 56).
