SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT

FRONT-TO-BACKADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 16).

IMPORTANT: DECK MUST BE LEVEL SIDE- TO-SIDE. IF THE FOLLOWING FRONT-TO- BACK ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY, BE SURE TO ADJUST BOTH FRONT OR BOTH REAR LINKAGES EQUALLY SO THE DECK WILL STAY LEVEL.

To obtain the best cutting performance, the deck should be adjusted so the front tip of the blades are approximately 1/8" to 1/4" lower than the rear tip. If the front tip is higher, this will create a poor quality of cut.

WARNING

Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling.

Check adjustment on the right side of the mower. Position any blade so that the tip is pointing straight forward. Measure distance “B” at the front and rear tip of the blade.

Before making any necessary adjustments, check to make sure that the deck is level side-to-side.

With the deck in the highest cutting position, (4 1/2") measure the front tip of the blade to see if the deck is higher or lower than 4 1/2".

To lower the front tip of the blade, using a 9/16" wrench, loosen the hex nuts that are on the front lift linkages (be sure to loosen equal amounts).

When distance “B” is 1/8" to 1/4" lower at the front than rear the adjustment is done.

Reverse above step to raise the deck.
