Note:     It   is  possible   to  install  the  engine   to mower  deck drive  belt  (P/N 

 

0111)  at  this  time; however, our engine Manufacturers have  suggested that 
this, belt  be  installed  a f t e r    the  engine  has   been  fully serviced per 
Manufacturers'  suggestions   and  allowed  to   operate  at 1/2  to  3/4  throttle 
settings   for  approximately (3) Minutes.     This  will place  the  initial   start up  of  
the  engine  in  a  no  load  situation  and  allow  complete  engine lubrication.

 

 

 

Adjustment;

 

1.       Install  engine   to  Mower   deck  drive  belt   (P/N   6111).

 

2.       Check  and   adjust   tire   pressures.

 

Front  19  to  21 psi; Rear  8  to 12 psi.

 

Tires  May  have been  over  inflated  for   shipping purposes.

 

3.

      

Place  the Mower  on  a level  surface.    Using  the  lift handle,  raise  the

 

Mower deck  to a height  which will allow Measurements  to  be   taken  from 
the  surface  to the  tops  of  the two  outer Mower deck cutter blades (P/N  
8688).

 

4.       Align both  outer Mower  deck cutter blades   to  obtain  a  side   to   side

 

Measurement.    Starting  with   the  left  blade  as   viewed  from  operator's position,  
secure Measurement  from level  surface  to  the bottom  of  the - cutter blade  tip,  
rotate   blade  and check Measurement  on  opposite  end of cutter  blade.     Tip  to  
tip measurement   on  the  same cutter  blade should not  vary more   than  1/8th of an  
inch.    Maintain measurement   taken and verify against  the  right  outer cutter 
blade.    If adjustment  is required, loosen or  tighten  the nuts  on  the  two  rear L-
rods.

 

5.      Align both outer mower  deck cutter blades  front  to rear  as  viewed  from 

operator's  position.    Measure  from  surface   to  the bottom  of  the  cutter  blade  
tip,  at  the  rear  of  the mower  deck.    Using the nut  on  the  single front  L-rod, 
loosen  or  tighten as  required  to place the mower deck at  an attitude  of 
approximately l/8th of an inch higher  in the  rear  than  the front  of the deck.

 

  6 .       Recheck belt routing and alignment, start engine, burnish in electric blade 

clutch using at least (5) engagements at 3/4 to full throttle  settings. Each 
engagement should last approximately (6) seconds.

 

Note;    The completed  adjustment  places   the mower deck in  an  attitude   or 
position which will produce  a quality cut.    Ground speed,  grass  conditions, 
types  of grass, tire pressures, dull or  bent  blades  and loose belts   are just   
some  of  the  factors  which will cause  poor  cut quality.
