Mower Deck Leveling
For proper performance in most conditions the blade pitch needs tobe 1/4” lower in the front than the rear.
Position machine on a flat surface. Preferably level concrete.
Check tire pressure in all four tires. Inflation should be 15 psi in each tire.
Align the blades so the tips point to the front/rear of the mower deck.
Set the deck height level pin on the lift lever to 3 1/2 and lower the deck.
Loosen the bolts and nuts on all four lower chain mounts just enough that they rise to the top of the slots.
Using suitable blocks or stands, support the deck front and rear, left and right so that the front tip of the blades are at 3 1/2” and the rear blade tips are at 3 3/4”.
Adjust chains in the slots to remove slack and tighten securely.
Remove blocks and recheck blade measure- ments.
Throttle Lever Tension
Stop engine and remove key.
Throttle lever tension may be adjusted by tighten- ing the pivot bolt. The pivot bolt secures the throttle arm to the mounting bracket which is mounted to the console. Access is gained by removing the console.
