timing must be checked and/or adjusted.

2. Lock the deck lift pedal in the TRANSPORT position.
Place the deck height adjustment pin in the 4" posi-
tion and lower deck the lift pedal until the arm con-
tacts the pin.
3. Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the mower

6. Adjust the front eyebolts until the chains are tight and
the deck is still resting on the 2 x 4’s. Tighten jam
