TIRE PRESSURE
The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping
purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating
the unit. Check the sidewall of the tires for proper infla¬
tion pressure.
A
WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained on all
tires.
LEVELING THE DECK
After attaching the deck to the tractor, check to be
certain it is adjusted properly.
1. Check tire pressure in all four tires. See sidewall
of tire for recommended inflation pressure.
2. Make certain all deck wheels or both ends of the
deck roller are mounted in same relative hole
locations.
3. Place the tractor on a level surface.
4.
46" Deck:
Lower the deck until it reaches the
ground. All four deck wheels should reach the
ground at the same time.
5.
Both Decks:
Place the deck approximately 1"
above the ground. Check to be certain the
distance from the bottom edge of the deck to the
ground is the same on both sides of the deck.
If adjustment is necessary, adjust the deck links on the
left side of the deck as follows.
1. Make certain the PTO is disengaged. Remove the
hairpin clip and washer from the weld bolt. Thread
eyebolt up or down the link as necessary, and
reassemble.
2. Check to be certain the front of the deck is 1/4" to
3/8" lower than the rear of the deck. If it is not,
adjust the two front links to obtain this distance.
