DECKLEVELINGADJUSTMENT

If an uneven cut is obtained, the deck may be leveled by following instructions in Assembly section.

BRAKEADJUSTMENT(See figure 15)

The brake is located by the right rear wheel inside the frame. During normal operation of this machine, the brakes are subject to wear and will require periodic ex- amination and adjustment.

AWARNING: Do not adjust the brake while the engine is running. Be sure to block the wheels of the tractor before making the brake adjustment.

To adjust the brake, remove the cotter pin. Adjust the castle nut so the brake starts to engage when the brake lever is 1/4" to 5/16" away from the axle housing.

NOTE: Figure 15 is shown with the unit tipped up on rear wheels for clarity only.

CARBURETORADJUSTMENTS

AWARNING: If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running (e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches and blades. Keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.

Minor carburetor adjustments may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load. Refer to separate engine manual for carburetor adjustment information.

NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause an engine to runrough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to

the carburetor before adjusting carburetor.
