MAINTENANCE
Adjusting the Mower Deck
Check the tire pressure before adjustment of
the mower deck, refer to ”Checking Tire
Pressure” in this section of the manual.
Faulty mower deck adjustment will cause
uneven mowing result.
Leveling
1. Position the mower on a level, preferably
concrete, surface.
2. Check the pressure in all four tires. See
“Technical Data” on page 66.
3. Raise the mower on lengths of 2" x 4"
placed edgewise under the cutting deck
from front to rear (see diagram).
4. Lower the deck onto the 2” x 4”´s. The
rear of the deck is approxemately 1/4”
deeper than the front. This gives the
deck a proper pitch front to back when
lowered onto the 2” x 4” guides.
5. Set cutting height to 4”.
6. Adjust the four lower chain bolts so that
they are centered in the oblong slots.
7. Move the lifting lever and check that all
the chains are equally tensioned. If they
are not, adjust the appropriate lower
chain bolt in its slot.
Adjusting Cutting Height
1. Raise and secure the deck height lever
to the transport position (4 1/2").
2. Position blade tip so it is straight forward.
3. Measure from the cutting edge of the
blades to a flat level surface. The
distance should be 4 1/2" (114 mm).
4. Drop and secure the lever at (for
example) the 2" cutting height. Measure
as above. The distance should be 2"
(50 mm).
WARNING!
Before performing any service or adjustment checklist:
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. Place the Blade switch in the disengaged position.
3. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and remove the key.
4. Make sure the blades and all moving parts have completely stopped.
5. Disconnect the spark plug wire from all spark plugs and place the wire where it
cannot come in contact with the plug.
WARNING!
Blades are sharp. Protect your
hands with gloves and/or wrap
blades with a heavy cloth when
handling.
