equipped, remove the gauge wheels.

adjuster knobs (Figure 36). Make sure the adjuster
knobs are tight. If necessary, use a wrench to tighten
the adjuster knobs. For plastic adjuster knobs, tighten

adjuster knobs, tighten to a torque of 10 foot pounds
(13,5 Nm).
7. Raise the deck lift lever from the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
position to a CUTTING HEIGHT position (Figure 37).
8. If equipped, install the gauge wheels.
9. Mow for a short distance. If the height of cut is not
level, repeat the above steps.
CAUTION: Do not operate with the mower deck in the LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT position. If you operate in the LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT position, the mower deck and blades can be
damaged.

drive belt should require replacement, it should be
performed only by an authorized dealer.
