Checking Thrust Arm-to-Stop Rod Clearance (Transport Position)

1.Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2.Set mower deck to transport (fully raised) position.

3.Check clearance (A) from the top of the thrust arms (B) to the bottom of the thrust arm stop rod (C). The clearance should be 3 mm (1/8 in.).

Adjust Thrust Arm-to-Stop Rod Clearance (Transport Position)

1.Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2.Loosen jam nut (A).

NOTE: If correct adjustment cannot be obtained by adjusting the lift handle connecting rod, further movement can be gained by adjusting the chain U-bolts.

Adjust all four chain U-bolts equally. All four chains should be tight. Tighten the U-bolt of the loose chain to correct.
