CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MOWER DECK LEVELING PROCEDURE

There are four(4) slots that will control the attitude or pitch of the mower deck. The deck should be level or pitched slightly higher in rear.

1.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	(110-145 kPa)
Rear:	8-14 lbs maximum	(55-97 kPa)

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

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

3.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, loosen the locknut and move mounting bolt up or down in slot until both side-to-side measurements are equal. Retain measurement.
