TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING

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

UCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this

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

SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT

At the midpoint of both sides of mower, measure height from bottom edge of

mower to ground. Distance "A" on both sides of mower should be the

same or within 1/4" of each other.

If adjustment is necessary, make adjustment on one side of mower only.

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

To lower one side of mower, loosen lift

link adjustment nut on that side. NOTE:Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower height about 1/8".

its highest position.
