INSTALLING MOWER
Mower Deck Lift Rod
1, If the height of the mower deck is less than 109
mm(4.3 in), adjust the mower deck lift rod until the height is between 109 to 113 mm (4.3 to 4.5 in). The mower deck lift rod is adjusted as follows: With deck in the lowered position, back off on lock nuts on lift rod. Rod is designed as a turnbuckle. Use a wrench on the flats of the rod to turn it.
2.Turn the rod clockwise to tighten, thus increas- ing the lift height of the deck. Turn it counter- clockwise to loosen. After adjustment, tighten the lock nuts securely.
3.Do not shorten the mower deck lift rod to less than 379 mm (14.9 in) when first adjusting deck. If the height of the mower blade is below
109 mm (4.3 in) when the mower deck lift rod is 379 mm (14.9 in) long, first use the mower deck lift plates to adjust the deck height.
4.If the mower cannot be raised to 109 mm (4.3 in) using the deck lift plates, then adjust the length of the mower deck lift rod.
