DECK LEVELING AND HEIGHT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE

1.On the right side of the machine^ the tie bar between the lift arms should be adjusted so there is 20-1/2" between clevis eyes. If adjustment is necessary, loosen jam nuts on both ends of the bar, and turn bar by hand until 20-1/2" dimension is achieved. Tighten jam nuts securely back against both ends of the bar.

On the left side of the machine, the tie bar should be adjusted so the angle of the rear lift arm matches the angle of the right rear lift arm. If adjustment is necessary, loosen jam nuts on both ends of the bar, and turn bar by hand until angle of the two rear lift arms match. Tighten jam nuts securely back against both ends of bar. See Figure 1.

2.Move lift handle to mid-range and use blade height gage (8241) to check side-to-side and front-to-rear blade heights.

3.Adjust side-to-side blade heights to within 1/8", and adjust front-to-rear blade heights so rear of blade is 0 to 1/4" higher than front of blade.

4.If any of the deck hanger bolts hang loose, thread it further into clevis until it is snug. Take special care not to have an effect on the deck height.

5.Tighten jam nuts up against clevis.
