Dixon ZTR 5005, ZTR 5004 manual Mower Deck Leveling Procedure

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE:

There are a total of (4) threaded adjusters which will control the attitude or pitch of the mower deck. The adjusters have locknuts on the bottom which can be turned up or down to raise or lower the front and rear of the mower deck. Deck should be level or pitched slightly higher in rear.

A.Place the mower on a smooth level surface with front casters positioned towards deck. Check tire pressures to insure the mower has a correct stance. Inflate tires as required:

Front: 16 - 21 lbs maximum

Rear : 8 -14 lbs maximum

NOTE: To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower deck drive belt must be installed prior to leveling deck.

B.Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck or in a side-to-side manner.

C.Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade tip on the discharge side of the mower deck. Retain this measurement. Move to the opposite side, check that measurement is the same. If adjustment is required, turn the nut on the bottom of the front threaded adjuster up or down until both side-to-side measurements are equal. Retain measurement.
