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"). If tires are
over or undefinflated, you will not properly
adjust your mower.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
• Raise mower to its highest position.
• 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.
• If adjustment is necessary, make adjust-
ment on one side of mower only.
• To raise one side of mower, tighten lift
link adjustment nut on that side.
• To lower one side of mower, loosen lift
link adjustment nut on that side.
NOTE: Each full turn ofadjustment nut
will change mower height about 3/16".
• Recheck measurements after adjusting.

side. If the following front-to-back adjust-
ment is necessary, be sure to adjust both
front links equally so mower will stay level

To obtain the best cutting results, the
mower housing should be adjusted so the
front is approx=mately 1/8" to 1/2" lower
than the rear when the mower is in its
highest position.

Measure distance "F" directly in front of
and behind the mandrel at bottom edge of
mower housing as shown.
• Before making any necessary adjust-
ments, check that both front links are
equal in length.
• If links are not equal in length, adjust
one link to same length as other link.
• To lower front of mower housing, loosen
nut =G" on both front links an equal
number of turns.
• When distance =F" is 1/8" to 1/2" lower
at front than rear, tighten nut "H" against
trunnion on both front links.
• To raise front of mower housing, loosen
nut "H" from trunnion on both front links.
Tighten nut "G" on both front links an
equal number of turns.
• When distance "F" is 1/8" to 1/2" lower
at front than rear, tighten nut "H"
against trunnion on both front links.
NOTE: Each full turn of nut "G" will
change dim. "F" by approximately 3/8".
