LEVELING THE DECK
1.
Move the tractor to a hard surface (i.e. concrete or blacktop).
2.
Set the tire pressure on each of the four tires to 12 psi
3.
Set the deck cutting height to the highest position and rotate the two outside blades by hand until one
end of each outside blade points forward (toward the front of tractor)
4.
Measure from the ground to the front blade tip of each outside blade. These measurements should
be within 1/8” of each other. (NOTE: To simplify this measuring, an optional Blade Measuring tool,
part number 629-374A is available from your local “Country Clipper” Dealer)
5.
If necessary loosen the jam nut(s) of the Deck Hanger Bolt(s) and adjust the Deck Hanger Bolt(s) up
or down accordingly. It may be necessary to adjust both the front and rear Deck Hanger Bolts for a
given side.
