SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS
Mower Deck Leveling
Position machine on a flat surface. Preferably level concrete.
Check the tire pressure in all four tires. Inflation should be 15 psi.
Place 2x4’s on edge under the cutting deck from front to rear and lower the deck down onto 2x4’s.
Adjust the four lower chain bolts to the center slots on the deck. FIG - 6 NOTE: Make sure the lift blocks under the frame are tightly bolted to the frame.
Check the chains for equal tension. If unequal adjust lower chain bolt in slot.
Place the deck in the 6” cutting height and measure from the cutting edge of the blade to the flat level surface to check the deck cutting height.
Throttle Lever Tension
Stop engine and remove key.
Throttle lever tension may be adjusted by tightening the pivot bolt. The pivot bolt secures the throttle arm to the mounting bracket which is mounted to the console. Access is gained by removing the console.
Reverse Spring Detent Adjustment Stop engine and remove key.
Pull the motion control lever back to the reverse position and release the lever. When the lever stops it should be in line with the neutral slot, so you can move the lever into neutral slot with out hitting the side of the console frame.
If adjustment is required put the seat in the rear most position on the slide, tilt the seat forward, remove the seat rod from seat frame and fold seat over forward onto the frame.
On the back of the console where the spring is fastened, loosen the 3/8” nut and bolt enough to allow the bolt to slide in the slot. FIG - 7
Rotate the motion control lever out into the neutral slot. While the lever is swung out into the neutral slot pull it against the back edge of the neutral slot. Holding the lever adjust the spring by sliding the bolt in the slot to remove all the slop and retighten the bolt.
Check your adjustment by repeating the second step in this process.
If no more adjustment is needed reassemble the seat rod to the seat frame.
