Regular Maintenance
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
37.
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 38. 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.
See Figure 39.
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 40.
8. Loosen the nuts and allow the rear of the deck to
rest on the 2 x 4’s. Slide the chains in the slots
until the chains are tight and tighten the nuts. See
Figure 40.
9. Remove all 2 x 4 blocks from under the mower
deck.
