INSTALLING MOWER

NOTE: Tool is available (see illustration)for ease of measurement.

1, To level mower from side to side, measure distance from front blade tip to ground. For left and right blades, measurements should be within 5 mm.(1/4 in) of each other. Move washers as necessary to raise the low corner. To add washers, raise mower deck until wheels clear ground by about 5 in.

2.Place wood block or floor jack under edge of mower to hold it while wheel is removed. Drive out split pin from lower caster wheel to remove caster wheel shaft. Move washers to the bottom part of caster wheel shaft as illustrated . Each washer changes height by 3 mm (about 1/8 in).

3.Re-attachwheel, let mower down to rest on wheels, and re-measure. Repeat the adjustment until the differencebetween blade heights is approximately 5 mm (1/4 in). Do not replace split pin until after adjusting forward tilt.

4.Adjust forward tilt by measuring from front and rear of blades to ground. The front of the blades should be about 10 mm (3/8 in) lower than the rear of the blades. If difference is less than 5 mm (1/4 in) take washers from bottom of gauge wheel shaft and move to top. If difference in blade tip to ground measurementsis more than 15 mm (1/2 in), take washers from top of gauge wheel shaft and move to bottom as illustrated. Move equal numbers of washers for both left and right sides. Replace split pins.
