Adjustments
WARNING! Shut the engine off, remove the
ignition key and engage the parking brake before
making adjustments. Protect your hands by using
heavy gloves when handling the blades.
NOTE:
any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires on page 28 for
information regarding tire pressure.
Leveling the Deck (Front To Rear)
The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer bar that
can be adjusted to level the deck from front to rear. The front of
the deck should be between ⁄inch and ⁄inch lower than the
rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:
Park the tractor parked on a firm, level surface and place
the deck lift lever in the top notch.
Rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is 2.
parallel with the tractor.
Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the
ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The first
measurement taken should be between ⁄inch and ⁄inch
less than the second measurement.
Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper
adjustment and proceed, if necessary.
Locate the hex lock nut on the end of the deck hanger rod.
See Fig. 6-4.
To raise the front of the deck, tighten (thread inward)
the hex nut against the front hanger bracket.
To lower the front of the deck, loosen (thread outward)
the hex nut, away from the front hanger bracket. See
Fig. 6-4.
