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:
1.
With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the
deck lift lever in the top notch
(highest position)
and rotate
both blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.
2.
Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade
tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the
right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken
should be equal. If they’re not, proceed to the next step.
3.
Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap screw on the left
deck hanger bracket. See Fig. 6-6.
4.
Balance the deck by using a wrench to turn the adjustment
gear
(found immediately behind the hex cap screw just
loosened)
clockwise/up or counterclockwise/down.
The deck is properly balanced when both blade tip
measurements taken earlier are equal.
5.
Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger
bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.
Seat Adjustment
Refer to the Set-Up and Assembly section of this manual for seat
adjustment instructions.
Parking Brake Adjustment
WARNING!
Never attempt to adjust the brakes
while the engine is running. Always disengage PTO,
move shift lever into neutral position, stop engine
and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor’s rear wheels
can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need
of adjustment. See an authorized Service Dealer to have your
brakes properly adjusted.
