CUTTING HEIGHT:
1.Stop the mower and disengage the blades.
2.Raise the deck height lever to the transport position.
3.Remove the height adjustment pin and place it in the desired cutting height hole. Move deck height lever down onto the pin and mow. NOTE:
MOWER DECK LEVELING:
1.Position mower on a flat surface and stop engine.
2.Check the tire pressure of all four tires. Inflation should be 15 psi.
3.Place two 2x4’s on edge under the cutting deck from front to rear and lower the deck down onto the 2x4’s.
4.Adjust the four upper chain bolts “H” to the center of the slot in the deck lift arms (See Fig 2). NOTE: make sure deck lift blocks are tightly bolted to the frame .
5.Check chains for equal tension. If unequal, adjust upper chain bolt in slot.
6.Place deck in the 5" cutting height and measure from the cutting edge of the blade to a flat surface to check deck cutting height.
MOTION CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS
1.This Adjustment must be made with the drive wheels rotating. Raise rear of the unit and block it up so the wheels are free to rotate. CAUTION: Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating tires.
2.With the ground speed lever in the neutral position, start the engine.
3.Lift the neutral bail into the neutral slots in the drive levers.
4.Adjust the drive linkages by loosening or tightening the nut on the bottom of the drive linkage until the wheels stop.
5.With 2 9/16” wrenches, adjust the reverse detent springs on the pump arms so that the head of the bolt is approximately 1/16” from the top of the rear deck.
6.Push the ground speed lever forward to full speed and pull back to neutral position to be sure that the wheels stop. This should be done several times and any readjustments made that are required.
