SECTION 4 – SXM54, SXM60 MOWER DECK
4-21
Adjusting Lift Height Stops
With the mower deck adjusted for side to side
and front to rear level, the next step is to set the
deck height in the full up position to allow the
transport lock feature to operate. Use the
following procedure for deck height stop
adjustment.
1. Start the tractor and raise the deck to the full
up position, using the 3PT control lever. Stop
the engine and remove the key from the key
switch.
2. Measure the clearance between the frame
stop ② and link arm ①. Clearance should be
1 mm.
3. If clearance between frame stop and lift link
is more or less than 3 mm, loosen the jam
nut ① on the lift arm rod ②.
NOTE: Lift arm adjuster is located to the inside
of the left rear tire, above the left rear axle
housing.
4. Turn the adjuster ③ to achieve the
following:
• Turn the -adjuster clockwise to shorten
the rod, raising the deck if clearance is
more than 3 mm.
• Turn the adjuster counter-clockwise to
lengthen the rod, lowering the deck if
clearance is less than 3 mm.
5. Start the tractor. Lower fully and then raise
fully the mower deck. Measure the frame
stop to lift link clearance. Repeat steps 1 - 5
until desired clearance is obtained.
6. Lock the jam nut ④ against the adjuster ③.
