DRIVE SHAFT YOKE, U-JOINT STUB SHAFT

With engine stopped, inject Lithium-Complex extreme pressure grease conforming to NLGI2-ISO 320 specifications into universal joints and slip yoke until grease appears at the seal. Grease them daily or every 8 hours.

MAINTENANCE

ADJUSTING THE CABLE LIFT

Extend the outboard cylinder until the mower deck touches its stop on the draft beam as shown. NOTE: Make sure the cable turnbuckle is loose enough to allow the cylinder to reach full extension before the head reaches the stop. Now hold the head against the stop and tighten the turnbuckle until the cable is tight. Lower and raise the head to check the adjustment. The head should touch its stop at the same time the cylinder reaches full extension. Tighten turnbuckle lock nuts securely after adjustment is complete.
