To Level Mower
Make sure tires are properly inflated to the PSI shown on
tires. If tires are over or under inflated, it may affect the ap-
pearance of your lawn and lead you to think the mower is
not adjusted properly.
VISUAL SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
1. With all tires properly inflated and if your lawn appears
unevenly cut, determine which side of mower is cutting
lower.
2. With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn lift link adjustment
nut (A) to the left to lower the mower, or, to the right to
raise the mower (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower
height about 3/16".
3. Test your adjustment by mowing some uncut grass and
visually checking the appearance. Readjust, if necessary,
until you are satisfied with the results.
PRECISION SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
1. With all tires properly inflated, park tractor on level ground
or driveway.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with
gloves and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.
2. Raise mower to its highest position.
3. At both sides of mower, position blade at side and mea-
sure the distance (A) from bottom edge of blade to the
ground. The distance should be the same on both sides
(Fig. 2).
4. If adjustment is necessary, see step 2 in Visual Adjust-
ment instructions above.
5. Recheck measurements, adjust if necessary until both
sides are equal.
FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: Deck must be level side-to-side.
To obtain the best cutting re sults, the mower blades should
be adjusted so the front tip is 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the rear
tip when the mower is in its highest position.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with
gloves and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.
• Raise mower to highest position.
• Position any blade so the tip is pointing straight forward.
Measure distance (B) to the ground at front and rear tip
of the blade (Fig. 3).
• If front tip of blade is not 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the rear
tip, go to the front of tractor.
• With an 11/16" or adjustable wrench, loosen jam nut A
several turns to clear adjustment nut B.
• With a 3/4" or adjustable wrench, turn front link adjustment
nut (B) clockwise (ltighten) to raise the front of mower, or,
counterclockwise (loosen) to lower the front mower (Fig.
4).
NOTE: Each full turn of the adjustment nut will change mower
height about 1/8".
• Recheck measurements, adjust if necessary until front
tip of blade is 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the rear tip.
• Hold adjustment nut in position with wrench and tighten
jam nut securely against adjustment nut.
