Dixon 13090-0700, ZTR 6022 manual Leveling the Deck

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

LEVELING THE DECK:

The deck comes from the manufacturer pre-leveled. If the deck does appear to be cutting unlevel follow this procedure.

1. Set all tire pressure to correct specifications (see page 23).

2. Place machine on a level slab of concrete.

3. Move blades by hand so all the blades are pointed in the same direction (see diagram on page 34). Measure from the blade tip (beveled edge) to the ground, all three blades. If there is more than a 3/16" difference from one side to the other, the deck should be leveled.

4. Remove the clevis pin from the rear of the lift spring rod, on the high side. The lift spring rod is two parts-one threaded into the other. Turn the lift spring rod counter- clockwise 2 turns. Reassemble clevis pin and remeasure. Repeat as required to achieve a difference of no more than 3/16" from one side to the other.

5, If the deck is level side to side but high or low at the center blade, both lift spring rods must be adjusted equal amounts. Shortening the lift spring rods will bring the center blade up and lengthening the lift spring rods will let the center blade down.
