CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
A WARNING: If any adjustments are made to
the engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches
and blades. Keep clear of all moving parts.
Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustments may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load. Refer to separate engine manual
for carburetor adjustment information.
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause an engine to runrough.
Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to
the carburetor before adjusting carburetor.
LUBRICA TION
WARNING: Always stop engine and
disconnect spark plug wire before clean-
ing, lubricating or doing any kind of work
on lawn tractor.
STEERING GEARS
Lubricate teeth of steering gears with automotive multi-
purpose grease after every 25 hours of operation or
once a season. See figure 16.

DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT
If an uneven cut is obtained, the deck may be leveled
by following instructions in Assembly section.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT (See figure 15)
The brake is located by the right rear wheel inside the
frame. During normal operation of this machine, the
brakes are subject to wear and will require periodic ex-
amination and adjustment.
A WARNING: Do not adjust the brake while
the engine is running. Be sure to block the
wheels of the tractor before making the
brake adjustment.
To adjust the brake, remove the cotter pin. Adjust the
castle nut so the brake starts to engage when the brake
lever is 1/4" to 5/16" away from the axle housing.
NOTE: Figure 15 is shown with the unit tipped up on
rear wheels for clarity only.
