INSTALLING MOWER

Adjusting Lifting Height With Lift Plate

1, Place the tractor on a firm, level surface. Apply and lock the parking brake.

2. Start the engine, move the Hydraulic Cylinder Selector Lever (if installed) to FRONT. Set Lift Selector lever to “UP” and raise the mower deck fully.

3. When mower is fully raised, turn the Lowering Speed Adjusting knob fully clockwise to lock hydraulic system.

4. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch.

If the Lift Selector Lever is set to “DOWN” the mower deck will automatically lower to the ground as the Lowering Speed Adjusting knob is turned counterclockwise. Keep clear of the deck.

5. Set a wood block under the deck to hold it 4 or more inches off the ground, if it should de- scend. Measure from mower deck to ground. If measurement is less than 109 mm (4.3 in) shorten the mower deck lift plates to raise the deck higher. When raised to the maximum position, the mower should be 109-l 13 mm

(4.3-4.5 in) off the ground. Measure both sides to be sure they are equal.

6. If shortening the mower deck lift plates is necessary, lower deck by moving Lift Selector Lever to “DOWN”. Mower will descend as the Lowering Speed Adjusting knob is turned counterclockwise.

7. Remove lock pin holding lift plate onto stud on lift arm. Pull the lift plate towards you. This will free lift plate so that it can turn to adjust. Screw the lift plate in to shorten it, which will increase the mower deck lift height. [Each turn will shorten by about 3 mm]. Shorten or lengthen the plates as necessary to make both sides equal.

6. After adjusting length of lift plates, replace plate on stud, and lock with lock pin. Start engine, raise mower, turn Lowering Speed Adjusting knob fully clockwise to lock and repeat adjust- ment. If deck cannot be raised to 109 mm, see next section on adjusting lift rod.
