1. Check tire pressures to make certain they are properly
inflated before starting to level deck. The
recommended pressures are as follows:
Drive wheels tire pressure....................8 - 10 psi
Gauge wheels tire pressure...................8 - 10 psi
WARNING: Stop engine. Make sure deck
clutch switch is in the down (OFF) position.
Place control levers in the brake position before
leaving machine.
2. Park the unit on a flat surface.
3. Raise deck and place 3" of blocking under all 4 corners
of the deck (Fig. 5-15). This will set the cutting height
at 3 ¼ ". NOTE: Back of deck will automatically be
set ¼" higher.
4. Set cutting height at 3 ¼" in the height indicator by
placing the height adjusting stop in the 3" hole, and
turning the height stop so that the flat side is against
the stop handle. Fig. 5-16
5. Clamp the height adjusting stop against the stop handle
(5-16). This will assure that the height will not move
during the setting process. Otherwise, spring pressure
from the deck lift springs will tend to pull the stop
away from the handle.
6. Loosen all nuts on the deck lift threaded rods, and the
hardware on the adjuster (on the right front), until all
