Maintenance

2.Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the blade control switch.

3.Move the motion control levers outward to the neutral position, engage the parking brake, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.

4.Check the air pressure of all four tires. If needed, adjust to the recommended inflation; refer to Checking the Tire Pressure in Drive System Maintenance section.

5.Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level if you have not checked the setting; refer to Leveling the Mower.

6.Set the height-of-cut lever to the 3 inch (76 mm) position. Place two 2 1/2 inch (6.35 cm) thick blocks under the rear edge of the cutting deck skirt; one on each side of the cutting deck. Place two 2 5/16 inch (5.89 cm) blocks under each side of the front edge of the deck, but not under the anti-scalp roller brackets.

7.Loosen the leveling adjust locking nuts (item 4) on all four corners so that the deck is sitting securely on all four blocks. Make sure that the deck hangers are all the way down (at the top of the slot) and the deck lift foot lever is pushed back against the stop, then tighten the four leveling adjust locking nuts (Figure 46).
