Before making any mower deck height adjustments, check air
pressure in all four tires. All tires must be properly inflated.
Recommended air pressure is 10 to 14 pounds per square
inch. Check side wall of tire for manufacturer's maximum tire
pressure. Do not exceed this pressure. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained in all tires.
Main frame on lawn tractor should be level across the front
from left side to right side. If main frame will not sit level, the
