TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING

Adjust the mower while tractor is parked on level ground or driveway. Make sure

tires are properly inflated (See "PROD- UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 5 of this

manual). If tires are over or underinflated, you will not properly adjust your mower.

sIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT

o Raise mower to its highest position. o Measure height from bottom of deck

curl to ground level at front corners of mower. Distance "A" on both sides of mower should be the same.

o If adjustment is necessary, make adjust- ment on one side of mower only.

o To raise one side of mower, tighten lift link adjustment nut on that side.

o To lower one side of mower, loosen lift link adjustment nut on that side.

NOTE: Each half turn of adjustment nut will change mower height about 3/16".

highest position.

Check adjustment on right side of tractor. Measure distance "F" directly in front of and behind the mandrel at bottom edge of mower housing as shown.
