HOW TO LEVEL THE MOWER HOUSING
If the mower housing is level, the blade will cut easier and the lawn
will look better.
WARNING: Before you make an inspection, adjust-
ment, or repair to the unit, disconnect the wire to the
spark plug. Remove the spark plug wire to prevent
the engine from starting by accident.
1. Make sure the unit is on a hard flat surface.
2. Check the air pressure in the tires. If the air pressure is incor-
rect, the mower housing will not cut level. Make sure the tires
are inflated to 14 PSI. (1 BAR).
IMPORTANT: On models equipped with gauge wheels, the
gauge wheels must be removed to correctly adjust the
level of the mower housing.
3. Some models have gauge wheels on the mower housing. If
equipped, remove the gauge wheels.
4. Move the
lift lever
to the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position
(Figure 30).
WARNING: The lift lever is spring loaded. Make sure
the lift lever is locked in the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
position.
5. Loosen the left and right
adjuster knobs
(Figure 31). Push
down on each side of the mower housing. Make sure both sides
of the mower housing are setting on a flat surface. Also, make
sure the lift links are loose and can easily move up or down.
6. Push down on the
lift links
and tighten the left and right
adjust-
er knobs
(Figure 31). Make sure the
adjuster knobs
are tight.
If necessary, use a wrench to tighten the
adjuster knobs.
For
plastic
adjuster knobs,
tighten to a torque of 7 foot pounds (9,5
N m). For metal
adjuster knobs,
tighten to a torque of 10 foot
pounds (13,5 N m).
7. Raise the
lift lever
from the LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position to
a CUTTING HEIGHT position (Figure 32).
8. If equipped, install the gauge wheels.
9. Mow for a short distance. If the height of cut is not level, repeat
the above steps.
CAUTION: Do not operate with the mower housing in the
LEVEL ADJUSTMENT position. If you operate in the LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT position, the mower housing and blades can be
damaged.
