in the desired cutting height hole. Lower the lift 

lever down onto pin.

Mower Deck Leveling

1.  Position machine on a flat surface. Preferably 

level concrete.

2.  Check the tire pressure in all four tires. Inflation

3.  Place 2x4s on edge under the cutting deck 

from front to rear and lower the deck down onto 

2x4s.

4.  Adjust the four upper chain bolts to the center 

slots in the deck lift arms. 

NOTE:   Make  sure  the  lift  blocks  under  the 

frame are tightly bolted to the frame.

5.  Check the chains for equal tension. If unequal 

adjust upper chain bolt in slot.

6.  Place the deck in the 5" cutting height and 

measure from the cutting edge of the blade to 

the flat level surface to check the deck cutting 

height.

Throttle Lever Tension

Stop engine and remove key.
Throttle lever tension may be adjusted by tightening 

the pivot bolt. The pivot bolt secures the throttle arm to 

the mounting bracket which is mounted to the console.
