SECTION6: MAKINGADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Shut the engine off, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake before making adjustments. Protect your

hands by using heavy gloves when handling the blades.

Levelingthe Deck

NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires on page 25 for information regarding tire pressure.

Front To Rear

The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer

bar that can be adjusted to level the deck from front to rear. The front of the deck should be between 1/4-inch

and 3/8-inch lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:

•Park the tractor parked on a firm, level surface and place the deck lift lever in the top notch.

•Rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is parallel with the tractor.

•Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground.

•The first measurement taken should be between 1/4" and 3/8" less than the second measurement.

•Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and proceed, if necessary.

•From the front of the tractor, loosen the hex lock nut on each end of the deck hanger rod, and turn away from the inner hex nuts. See Figure 10

NOTE: Some models have an extruded hanger bracket with a pivot cup, and only one hex nut and lock nut. Adjust using the same procedure.

•Tighten the inner hex nuts front against the front

hanger bracket to raise the front of the deck; loosen the hex nuts to lower the front of the deck. See

Figure 10.

•Retighten the two lock nuts against the inner hex nuts when proper adjustment is achieved.

Sideto Side

If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:

•With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate both blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.

•Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken should be equal. If they're not, proceed to the next step.

•Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex bolt on the left deck hanger bracket. See Figure 11.
