Transport
Height Adjustment
Transport height is set at the factory and should not
need adjustment; however, if the belt covers contact
the footrest in the raised position, adjustment is
required.
1. Adjust by turning transport height nut (Fig. 7) on
lift mechanism clockwise to raise or
counterclockwise to lower mower.
2. Adjust nut until there is 1/16–1/8 inch clearance
between belt cover and left footrest.

Mower Leveling
The mower blades must be level from side to side.
Check the side-to-side level any time you install the
mower or when you see an uneven cut on your lawn.
Before you level the mower, set the air pressure in the
front and rear tires as specified in the tractor
operator’s manual.
2-3/4” to 4” Height-of-Cut Range
When the mower height-of-cut is set to the 2-3/4” to
4” range, the mower is suspended from the tractor.
1. Park the tractor on a flat surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and
turn the ignition key to “OFF” to stop the
engine. Remove the ignition key.
2. Raise attachment lift lever all the way to the
latched position.
3. Carefully rotate blade(s) side to side (Fig. 8).
Measure between the outside cutting edges and
the flat surface (Fig. 8). If both measurements
are not within 3/16”, an adjustment is required;
refer to steps 4 and 6.
