Section 3: Adjustments

Deck Lift Assist Springs

Refer to Figure 3-11:
There are two deck lift assist springs (#7). They are
located under the floor platform and will require
adjustment when the linkage to hold the deck at its
cutting height will not stay against deck stop pin (#6) or
when the force to push the deck lift pedal (#2) is too
great.
1. Lower deck to its lowest mowing position to ensure
deck is still tight against stop pin (#6).
2. Raise floor platform up. See "Accessing Area
Beneath Floor Platform" on page 17 for detailed
instructions.
3. Back jam nuts (#4) away from adjusting nuts (#5).
•
Turn adjusting nuts (#5) clockwise an equal
amount to increase spring tension and to make
lifting the deck easier.
•
Turn adjusting nuts (#5) counterclockwise to
decrease springs tension and to increase deck
weight against stop pin (#6).
4. After adjusting nuts (#5) has been properly adjusted
for both springs (#7), tighten jam nuts (#4) against
adjusting nuts (#5).
5. Replace floor platform and return deck lift pedal to
operating position.
