DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
Rear tires must be inflated to 15 psi (1,03 bar); front
tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar).
2. To check the lift rod timing, measure and record the
distance between the lift pivots and the rod pivots.
Repeat for other side of unit. See Figure 33.
3. If the measurements are equal, skip to Step 5. If the
measurements are NOT equal (greater than 1/8”
(3,17mm) difference), adjustment is required,
continue with Step 4.
4. Refer to Figure 34. To adjust the lift rod timing,
adjust the 5/8” hex nuts on either side of the front lift
pivot until the measurements are equal. Repeat for
other side.
5. Place the deck height adjustment pin in the
4" (10,2 cm) position.
6. Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the mower
deck with the 3-1/2” sides being vertical. Place a
1/4” (0,64 cm) thick spacer on top of the rear 2 x 4
blocks. See Figure 35.
7. Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight and
the deck is still resting on the 2 x 4’s. Tighten jam
nuts. See Figure 36.
8. Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to
rest on the 2 x 4’s and 1/4” spacers. Slide the chains
in the slots until the chains are tight and tighten the
nuts. See Figure 36.
9. Remove all 2 x 4 blocks and spacers from under the
mower deck.
