MAINTENANCE

Adjusting the Mower Deck

WARNING!

Before performing any service or adjustment checklist:

1.Engage the parking brake.

2.Place the Blade switch in the disengaged position.

3.Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and remove the key.

4.Make sure the blades and all moving parts have completely stopped.

5.Disconnect the spark plug wire from all spark plugs and place the wire where it cannot come in contact with the plug.

Check the tire pressure before adjustment of the mower deck. See “Checking Tire Pressure” in Maintenance section. Faulty mower deck adjustments will cause an uneven mowing result.

Leveling deck

Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. See “Technical Data” under Transmission. If tires are under or over inflated, you cannot properly adjust your deck.

Four slots control the height and pitch of the mower deck. The deck should be adjusted slightly higher in the rear.

NOTE:To insure accuracy of leveling procedure, mower deck drive belt must be installed prior to leveling deck.

1.Wear heavy gloves. Turn each outer blade tip to align with the deck or in a side-to-side manner.

2.Measure from the floor surface up to the bottom of the blade tip on the discharge side of the mower deck. Retain this measurement. Move to the opposite side, check that measurement is the same. If adjustment

is required, loosen the locknut and move mounting bolt up or down in slot until both side-to-side measurements are equal. Retain measurement.

3.Turn both outer blades to align with the deck in front-to-rear manner. Reposition rear mounting bolts up or down until rear of mower deck is positioned level to 1/8" higher in the rear than the side-to-side measurement.

WARNING!

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