Deck Leveling Adjustment
Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift rod timing
must be checked and/or adjusted.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking
brake. Check tires for proper inflation.
2. Lock the deck lift pedal in the 4-1/2” (11,47 cm)
position. Place the deck height adjustment pin in the
4” position and lower the deck lift pedal until the arm
contacts the pin.
3. Place the 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the
mower deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical.
Place a 1/4” (0,64 cm) thick spacer on top of the rear
2 x 4’s. See Figure 12.
4. Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight and
the deck is still resting on the 2 x 4’s. Tighten the
jam nuts. See Figure 13.
5. Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to
rest on the 2 x 4’s and 1/4” spacers. Slide the chains
down in the slots until the chains are tight and tighten
the nuts. See Figure 13.
6. Remove all the 2 x 4’s and spacers from under the
mower deck.
