TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING
Adjust the mower while tractor is parked
on level ground or driveway. Make sure
tires are properly inflated (See "PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 5 of this
manual). If tires are over or underinflated,
you will not properly adjust your mower.
sIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
o Raise mower to its highest position.
o Measure height from bottom of deck
curl to ground level at front corners of
mower. Distance "A" on both sides of
mower should be the same.
o If adjustment is necessary, make adjust-
ment on one side of mower only.
o To raise one side of mower, tighten lift
link adjustment nut on that side.
o To lower one side of mower, loosen lift
link adjustment nut on that side.
NOTE: Each half turn of adjustment nut
will change mower height about 3/16".
