Adjustments
Note:
Disengage PTO, shut off engine, wait for
all moving parts to stop, engage parking brake, and
remove key before servicing, cleaning, or making any
adjustments to the unit.
CAUTION
Raising the mower for service or maintenance
relying solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks could be dangerous. The mechanical or
hydraulic jacks may not be enough support or
may malfunction allowing the unit to fall, which
could cause injury.
Do Not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks for support. Use adequate jack stands or
equivalent support.
Deck Leveling
Note:
Side to side deck leveling should be done by
an Authorized Service Dealer. Small adjustments can
be accomplished by increasing the tire pressure in the
tire on the low side.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
3. Check the air pressure in the drive tires. If needed,
adjust to the recommended inflation; refer to
Checking the Tire Pressure
in Drive System
Maintenance section.
4. Set the height of cut lever to the 3 inch (7.6 cm)
position.
5. Raise the discharge deflector.
6. Carefully rotate the blades front to rear. Measure
from the tip of the front blade to the level surface
(Figure 19). The blades should measure 3 inches
(7.6 cm).
