Deck Leveling Adjustment

NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift rod timing must be checked and/or adjusted.

1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake. Rear tires must be inflated to 15 psi (1,03 bar); front tires to 40 psi (2,76 bar).

2. Lock the deck lift pedal in the 4-1/2” (11,47 cm) position. Place the deck height adjustment pin in the 4” position and lower the deck lift pedal until the arm contacts the pin.
