HEADLIGHTS

On some models, the lamps are ON whenever the tractor’s engine is running. On other models, the lamps are ON whenever the ignition key is moved out of the STOP position.

On all models, the lamps turn OFF when the ignition key is moved to the STOP position.

NOTE: Never move the key into the Start position while the engine is running. Doing so may cause damage to your engine’s electric starter.

SECTION 7: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in the operator’s manual.

WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the engine before performing any adjustments, repairs or maintenance.

LEVELING THE DECK

NOTE: Check the tractor’s tire pressure before performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to TIRES in the maintenance section of this manual for further information regarding tire pressure.

Front To Rear

The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer bar that can adjusted to level the deck from front to rear. The front of the deck should be between 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:

•With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is parallel with the tractor.

•Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground.

•The first measurement taken should be between 1/4" and 3/8" less than the second measurement.

•Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and proceed, if necessary, to the next step.

•Loosen the jam nuts on the rear side of the deck stabilizer bracket. See Figure 10A.

•Locate the lock nuts on the opposite side of the stabilizer bracket. See Figure 10A. Tighten the lock nuts to raise the front of the deck; loosen the lock nuts to lower the front of the deck.

•Retighten the jam nuts loosened earlier when proper adjustment is achieved.

Side to Side

If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:
