Section 6

A.Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the RH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod to lengthen the rod and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control rod to stroke the RH pump less, slowing down the RH wheel. See Figure 6-3.

- NOTE -

If after making the adjustment as outlined in step 2A, the machine creeps forward or backward, perform the neutral adjustment. See Neutral Adjustment on page 23.

6.3Throttle Control and Choke Adjustments

These adjustments must be performed by your Scag dealer to ensure proper and efficient running of the engine. Should either need adjustment, contact your authorized Scag service center.

6.4 BELT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Before removing any guards, shut the engine off and remove the ignition key.

All drive belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning, however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation, the belts should be checked for proper alignment and wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.

6.5 BELT ALIGNMENT

Belt alignment is important for proper performance of your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for belt adjustment.

6.6 CUTTER DECK ADJUSTMENTS

Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory. However, if these adjustments should ever need to be made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the proper cutter deck adjustment.

- NOTE -

Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments, be sure that all tires are properly inflated.

Cutter Deck Level

The cutter deck should be level from side-to-side for proper cutting performance. To check for level, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface, the tires are properly inflated and the cutter deck is set at the most common cutting height that you will use. On the RH side of the machine, check the distance from the bottom of the cutter deck to the floor. Next check the distance from the bottom of the cutter deck to the floor on the LH side of the machine. Both measurements should be the same. If the two measurements are different, the cutter deck level must be adjusted as follows:

1.On the front LH side of the cutter deck locate the cutter deck level adjusting bracket. See Figure 6-4.

2.Loosen the two (2) elastic stop nuts. Adjust the bolt up or down on the adjustment bracket to adjust the cutter deck until the distance from the bottom of the cutter deck to the floor is the same as the measurement on the RH side of the machine.

3.Tighten the two (2) elastic stop nuts to secure the cutter deck in the proper position.
