TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING
Adjust the mower while tractor is parked on level ground or driveway. Make sure tires are properly inflated (See “PROD- UCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual). If tires are over or underinflated, you will not properly adjust your mower.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
•Raise mower to its highest position.
•At the midpoint of both sides of mower, measure height from bottom edge of mower to ground. Distance “A” on both sides of mower should be the same or within 1/4" of each other.
•If adjustment is necessary, make adjust- ment on one side of mower only.
•To raise one side of mower, tighten lift link adjustment nut on that side.
•To lower one side of mower, loosen lift link adjustment nut on that side.
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower height about 1/8".
• Recheck measurements after adjusting.
