Parking Brake Adjustment

WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the brakes
while the engine is running. Always disengage PTO,
move shift lever into neutral position, stop engine
and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's rear wheels
can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need of
adjustment. See an authorized service dealer to have your brakes
properly adjusted.

Leveling the Deck

NOTE:
Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing any
deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires, later in this section of
this manual for more information regarding tire pressure.
Front To Rear
It is possible to adjust the pitch of the cutting deck. The front of
the deck should be between 0" (level) and 1⁄4" lower than the rear
of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the
lever for lifting the platform in the middle position and
rotate the blade so that it is aligned with the front and rear
of the tractor.
2. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the
ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The
first measurement taken should be between 0" (level) and
1⁄4" less than the second measurement. Determine the
approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and
proceed, if necessary, to the next step.
3. Locate the flange lock nut on the front end of the PTO Lift
Rod. See Figure 6-4.
