MAINTENANCE
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.
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.
