4.6 ALIGNING THE CUTTING DECK
The cutting deck is lowered by a level controlled
cable, and is moved by two trace rods at the front
and back.
In order to get a good cut it is essential that the
cutting deck is parallel with the ground crosswise,
and slightly lower at the front.
Three adjustments can be made on the jointed
system of the cutting deck:
a)
a combined adjustment to the parallel and the
minimum height front and back
b)
an adjustment to just the parallel across the
cutting deck
c)
adjusting the regularity of raising and lowering
Check the tyre pressures. If one or more tyres have
been replaced and there are found to be differences
in diameter,
do not attempt to compensate these
differences by giving different tyre pressures
,
but make the adjustments as in points “
A
” and “
B
”.
A) The combined adjustment to the parallel and
the minimum height front and back
Put the lawn-tractor onto a flat and stable surface
(such as a work bench) and put blocks beneath the
cutting deck in line with the centre lines of the
blades:
– at the front 26 mm
(1)
# code 60700000/0
– at the rear 32 mm
(2)
# code 60700001/0
Put the height lever in position «1» and completely
loosen the adjuster
(3)
, the nuts
(4 - 6 - 8)
and the
locknuts
(5 - 7 - 9)
of the three trace rods until the
deck is resting on the blocks.
Tighten the two rear nuts
(4 - 8)
and the front right
nut
(6)
to the point where the deck just begins to lift.
Tighten the three locknuts
(5 - 7 - 9)
and turn the
adjuster
(3)
until the control cable is taut.
Check that the deck rises and lowers regularly as
indicated in point “
C
”.
B) Adjusting the parallel across the cutting deck
Any difference in height from the ground between
the left and right sides of the deck can be compen-
sated by turning the two nuts
(4 - 8)
and locknuts
(5
- 9) of just the back rods
.
