DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

To Level the Mower Deck:

1. Park machine on a flat, level surface.

2. Raise the mower deck until it reaches the upper stop.

3. If the mower deck is in the HIGH RANGE, place 2 x 4 blocks under the outside edges of the mower deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical. Place a 1/8” (3mm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4 blocks. (See Figure 14)

If the mower deck is in the LOW RANGE, place 2 x 4 blocks under the outside edges of the mower deck with the 1-1/2” sides being vertical. Place a 1/8” (3mm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4 blocks. (See Figure 14)

4.Lower the mower deck until the deck rests against the 2 x 4 blocks and spacers.

5.Loosen the bolts (A, Figure 15) that secure the connecting links (B) together. This will remove any tension from the mounting linkages and pivots.

6.Retighten the bolts securely.

7.Verify that the deck height indicator (C) is aligned with the 4” mark (if in the HIGH RANGE) or the 2” mark (if in the LOW RANGE). Adjust the indicator position if necessary.

8.Remove the blocks from under the mower deck.
