Changing the Side-to-Side
Leveling
Changing the side–to–side leveling is done by adjusting
tire pressure.
Changing the Side–to–Side Leveling with
Tire Pressure
1. Change the tire pressure on both deck and traction
unit. Do this to the corresponding side that needs
adjustment.
2. Recheck the front-to-rear pitch and side to side
leveling of the cutting unit.
Matching Height of Cut
1. Check the tire pressure on both deck and traction unit.
2. Set the height-of-cut to the 4 in. (102 mm) position
following the height-of-cut decal.
3. With the machine on level surface, position one blade
front-to-rear (Fig. 61). Measure at "A" and from level
surface to the cutting edge of the blade tips (Fig. 62).
4. The measurement should be 4 in. (102 mm).

5. If it does not measure correctly, add air pressure in rear
tires to raise height–of–cut
6. If it does not measure correctly, decrease air pressure
in rear tires to lower height–of–cut.
7. Check carrier frame front–to–rear pitch.
Replacing the Traction Belt
Check traction drive belt for wear after every 50 hours of
operation.
1. Raise the front of the machine and hold with jack
stands.
2. Disconnect clutch wire connector from wire harness.
3. Remove PTO drive belt. Refer to Replacing the PTO
Drive Belt on page 44.
4. Remove clutch retainer from the engine deck (Fig. 63).
5. Unhook tension spring from side of frame (Fig. 63).
6. Loosen pivot bolt enough to remove traction belt from
the drive pulley and clutch.
7. Install new belt around clutch and drive pulleys.
8. Torque pivot bolt to 35-40 ft. lb. (47-54 N.m). Install
tension spring between idler arm and frame bracket
(Fig. 63).
9. Install clutch retainer to the engine deck (Fig. 63).
