Adjusting the Deck Wheels
Move the rider on a firm and level surface, preferably pavement,
and proceed as follows
1. Place the deck lift handle in the desired mowing height
setting.
2. Check the deck wheels for contact or excessive clearance
with the surface below. The deck wheels should have
between ¼-½” clearance above the ground.
3. If the deck wheels have excessive clearance or contact with
the surface, adjust as follows:
a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest setting.
b. Remove the front and rear deck wheels by removing
the lock nuts and shoulder bolts which secure them
to the deck. See Figure 6-6.

d. Reinsert the shoulder bolts (with each gauge wheel)
into the index hole that leaves approximately
⁄-½” between the bottom of the wheel and the
pavement.
Parking Brake Adjustment
If the rider does not come to a complete stop when the park/
brake pedal is completely engaged, or if the rider’s rear wheels
can roll with the parking brake applied (transmission bypass rods
engaged), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your Cub Cadet
dealer to have the brake properly adjusted.
