4. Place the height stop in the 3” (7.62cm) hole, with the flat
side of the height adjusting stop against the deck stop
bracket. Clamp the height adjusting stop against the deck
stop bracket. This will assure that the height will not
move during the setting process. Figure 6-8

hardware on the adjuster (on the left rear), until all the
deck lift chains are loose, and the deck is sitting tightly
on all four blocks. Figure 6-8

from the lift block at approximately 1.50" (left & right
side). Figure 6-8
9. Jam both nuts against the block. Figure 6-8
10. Push or pull on the deck lift bell crank until the chain on
the right rear just becomes tight, making sure that the
deck stays tight against the deck support block. Figure 6-

11. While keeping the chain tight, tighten the nuts against the
deck lift block on the height indicator. Figure 6-8
12. Go to the right front of the mower.
13. Make sure that there is still slack in the chain. If not,
loosen the two nuts on the block holding the threaded rod
until there is slack in the deck lift chain.
14. Tighten the appropriate nut until the chain just becomes
tight, making sure that the deck stays tight against the
Stop engine. Make sure deck clutch switch is in the down
(OFF) position. Place neutral lock/park brake lever in the
brake (engaged) position.
