SECTION 6: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Never attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in the operator’s
manual.
WARNING:
Disconnect the spark plug
wire(s) and ground against the engine before
performing any adjustments, repairs or
maintenance.
Standard Adjustment Seat
To adjust the position of the seat, loosen the two hex
screws on the bottom of the seat. See Figure 11. Slide
the seat forward or backward as desired. Retighten the
two screws.
Quick Adjustment Seat
(if so equipped)
To adjust the position of the seat on models so
equipped, move the seat adjustment lever (located
under the seat) to the left and slide the seat forward or
backwards. See Figure 12. Make sure seat is locked
into one of the six adjustment positions before
operating the lawn tractor.
Knob Adjustment Seat
(if so equipped)
To adjust the position of the seat on models so
equipped, loosen the two knobs on the bottom of the
seat. See Figure 13. Slide the seat forward or backward
as desired. Retighten the two knobs.
Deck Leveling Adjustment
WARNING:
Protect your hands by wearing
heavy gloves to grasp the cutting blade.
NOTE:
Check the tractor’s tire pressure before
performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to
Tires
later in this section for further information
regarding tire pressure.
The front of the cutting deck is supported by two lift links
that can be adjusted to level the deck from both front to
rear & side to side. The front of the deck should be
between 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch lower than the rear of
the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:
•
With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface,
place the deck engagement/lift lever in the top
cutting height notch (not BLADES STOP) position.
•
Rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so
that it is parallel with the tractor.
