Deck Leveling Adjustment - Briggs & Stratton SnapperPRO S800X Series Operator's Manual

Deck Leveling Adjustment

NOTE: Before adjusting the deck level, the deck lift rod
timing must be checked and/or adjusted.
Coarse Adjustment Procedure
When adjusting the deck level, the coarse adjustment
procedure should be used to make the majority of the
adjustment and the fine adjustment procedure should be
used to complete the adjustment.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
Drive tires must be inflated to 10 psi (0,69 bar); tractor
caster tires to 25 psi (1,72 bar); mower deck caster tires
to 25 psi (1,72 bar).
2. Extend the actuator until the pressure is removed from
the cutting height adjustment pin. Place the cutting
height adjustment pin in the 4" position and retract the
actuator until contact is made with the cutting height
adjustment pin.
3. Place 2 x 4 blocks under each corner of the mower deck
with the 3-1/2" sides being vertical. See Figure 46.
4. Loosen the nuts (A, Figure 47) and allow the front of the
deck to rest on the 2 x 4's. Slide the chains down in the
slots until the chains are tight and tighten the nuts. See
Figure 47.
5. Loosen the nuts (A) and allow the rear of the deck to rest
on the 2 x 4's. Slide the chains down in the slots until
the chains are tight and tighten the nuts. See Figure 43.
6. Remove all 2 x 4 blocks from under the mower deck.
CAUTION
Avoid injury! Mower blades are sharp.
Always wear gloves when handling mower blades or
working near blades.
7. Position the outside mower blades so that they face
front-to-back (Figure 48).
8. Measure from the front tip of the blade from the cutting
edge to the ground. Measure from the rear tip of the
blade from the cutting edge to the ground. Repeat this
process for the other side of the machine.
• The measurements should be 4" (10,2 cm).
If the above measurements are achieved not further
adjustment is necessary. If the above measurements are
NOT achieved proceed with Fine Adjustment Procedure.
